As of July 2026 (catalogs change), Palworld remains available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium, and its long-awaited 1.0 update went live on the service on July 10, 2026, so subscribers get the full release at no extra cost beyond their membership. It is not, however, part of any PlayStation or EA subscription: on PS5 it stays a paid purchase on the PlayStation Store (discounted but never handed out via a catalog), and because Palworld is published by Pocketpair rather than Electronic Arts, it has no presence in the EA Play library.

Palworld launched into early access on January 19, 2024 as a day-one Game Pass title, and it has stayed in the catalog continuously ever since through its record-breaking run and into its 1.0 launch. That said, subscription catalogs rotate constantly, so treat these answers as a snapshot and confirm against the live Xbox app or PlayStation Store before buying or subscribing. Note also that on PlayStation the relevant catalogs are the PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium tiers (the monthly-games and classics catalog), and Palworld appears in neither today.
