About Palworld server hosting

A Palworld dedicated server is Pocketpair's free standalone server app, PalServer, which runs on 64-bit Windows or 64-bit Linux and keeps your world online without anyone keeping the game open. In co-op, the session ends when the host leaves. On a dedicated server, players join by IP address and port, or through the in-game community server list. The player cap is set with ServerPlayerMaxNum, Pocketpair's examples use 32, and EZ Game Host plans are set up for up to 32 players.

Memory is what sets Palworld apart from most survival servers. Pocketpair lists 16 GB as the minimum and recommends more than 32 GB, and warns that 8 GB can boot but risks out-of-memory crashes. Load grows with players, bases and the Pals working at them, and Pocketpair names PalSpawnNumRate, BaseCampWorkerMaxNum and BaseCampMaxNumInGuild as settings that affect processing load. That is why EZ Game Host Palworld plans start at Pro (16 GB), with Premium (32 GB) for large, long-running worlds.

Crossplay is on by default for Steam, Xbox, Microsoft Store PC, Mac and PS5, controlled by the CrossplayPlatforms setting. Consoles cannot run the server themselves, and Xbox and PS5 players can only join a dedicated server that is listed as a community server. Co-op invite codes do not work on dedicated servers. Each world is a folder holding Level.sav, LevelMeta.sav and a Players folder, so back up and move the whole folder, not single files.

Pay, and the server deploys automatically with backups switched on.
Share the server address with friends and manage everything from the panel.

Read the getting started guide

Self-hosting on your own machine

Install Palworld Dedicated Server from Steam's Tools library or with SteamCMD using app ID 2394010, on a 64-bit Windows or Linux machine with at least 16 GB of memory.
Start the server once so it creates its config folders, then stop it.
Copy DefaultPalWorldSettings.ini to Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer (or LinuxServer) as PalWorldSettings.ini and edit the server name, passwords and rules there.
Forward UDP 8211 on your router to the server's local IP and allow it through the firewall.
Launch with -publiclobby so the server appears in the community server list for Xbox and PS5 players.
Update through Steam or SteamCMD after each patch, and copy the whole world folder from Pal/Saved/SaveGames to somewhere off the server.

On EZ Game Host the ports are opened for you, so there is no router setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can my friends play when I am offline?

Yes. Your hosted Palworld world runs independently of your PC or console, so friends can join without waiting for the original host to log in.

Can I bring my existing Palworld world?

Start with our world-transfer request and tell us where your save is hosted. Exported dedicated-server worlds and PC co-op saves have different transfer steps; a co-op host may need a character conversion. We can help you check the route before you move. Console save exports need a separate compatibility check.

How do Xbox and PS5 friends join?

Use the community server browser and search for your server's name. The server must be configured for community listing and allow your friends' platforms. Set a password to keep access limited to your group. Our crossplay guide walks through joining and troubleshooting.

How much RAM do I actually need for 10 Palworld players + mods?

Pocketpair lists 16GB of memory as the minimum for a Palworld dedicated server and recommends more than 32GB, warning that 8GB can boot but risks out-of-memory crashes. That is why our Palworld plans start at Pro (16GB). Choose Premium (32GB) for large, long-running worlds with many bases, Pals, and mods.

Will my server update automatically when Palworld patches?

Yes. We auto-pull official Pocketpair updates within minutes of release and restart your server cleanly. Your world, settings, and Pals are preserved. You can also pin to a specific build via the control panel if a mod isn't ready for the latest patch yet.

Can I run multiple Pal bases / teleport points without lag?

Yes — Palworld is CPU-bound on base worker simulation, so we run every server on AMD Ryzen 9950X cores with NVMe SSDs. Multiple full bases and dense teleport networks need memory as well as CPU, so give large worlds the headroom of the Premium plan.

What port does a Palworld server use?

UDP 8211 by default, and you can change it with the -port launch argument. If you self-host from home, forward that port on your router. On an EZ Game Host server there is no home network to configure.

Do I need an invite code to join a Palworld dedicated server?

No. Invite codes are only for co-op sessions. PC players join a dedicated server by entering its IP address and port, and any platform can join through the community server list if the server is listed there.

How do server-side mods work on a Palworld server?

Pocketpair's official system loads Steam Workshop items that include an Info.json file, enabled with bGlobalEnableMod and ActiveModList in Mods/PalModSettings.ini, and it is documented for the Windows dedicated server. Both EZ Game Host Palworld plans include full mod support. Back up your world first, since Pocketpair warns mods can cause save corruption or crashes.
