Pocketpair announced that it has delayed the Mac release of Palworld. The game, which was originally scheduled for November 26, 2024, will now be available on Thursday, February 27, 2025. The company noted that it wants to release the Mac version with better quality as a reason for the delay.
The Mac version is slated to make the full potential of a natively run game with the optimizations of Metal and Unreal Engine 5. It will also support HDR and MetalFX Upscaling. The game will be purchasable with a price tag of ¥3,400 in the Japanese store or $29.99 in the American store.
Palworld has been available on numerous platforms—namely Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Windows PCs. However, its overall existence may be in jeopardy. This is because Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have sued Pocketpair for alleged infringements of patents from the Switch-exclusive title Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The companies are demanding an injunction of Palworld in addition to damage reparation payments caused by the infringements.
The Mac version of Palworld will be available for purchase on February 27, 2025. The game is readily available for Windows PCs via Steam and Microsoft Store, as well as Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
