The game's versatility allows Pals to be used for various purposes, including fighting, working on farms, and even in factories. One of the game's more controversial features includes the option to sell or consume these creatures for survival.
Set in a harsh environment with scarce resources and dangerous poachers, Palworld challenges players to make tough choices for survival. It offers a range of activities from exploring diverse terrains on land, sea, and air using Pals as mounts, to building structures, farming, and automating production through factories.

The game also features dungeon exploration, breeding and genetics for creating powerful Pals, and engaging in poaching activities within wildlife sanctuaries.
With multiplayer support, players can invite friends for cooperative play or engage in battles and trade Pals. The online co-op mode supports up to 4 players, with a dedicated server allowing up to 32 players. Future updates are expected to introduce PvP and increase server capacity.
