When did Palworld 1.0 come out?
Short answer
9 July 2026, after two and a half years in Early Access from 18 January 2024.
Palworld released as 1.0 on 9 July 2026. Steam still shows the original Early Access date of 18 January 2024 alongside it, so the game spent almost two and a half years in Early Access.
The version this site’s data comes from is stamped at the bottom of every page, so you can always tell whether we are current with the build you are playing.
Where this comes from
Everything else on this site is extracted from Palworld’s own game files. Price and platform availability are not in those files, so this answer is read off the storefronts themselves — and it can go out of date in a way a datamined figure cannot.
