Pocketpair Confirms Palworld Will Remain Buy-to-Play

Developers clarify that the game was never designed for a free-to-play model despite previous considerations.

Pocketpair has officially stated that Palworld will not transition to a free-to-play model.
The game was never designed with a free-to-play structure in mind, making such a shift impractical.
Developers acknowledged that an interview discussing the possibility of going free-to-play was conducted months ago.
Pocketpair is exploring other monetization options, such as paid DLC and in-game skins, to support the game.
The gaming community has largely supported the decision to stick with the current buy-to-play model.
