How to Host a Palworld Crossplay Server (Steam, Xbox, PS5, Mac)

Full crossplay support for Palworld (Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Mac) was introduced in Update v 0.5.0. By default, your Shockbyte server automatically supports full crossplay and will appear in the Community Server list across all platforms.

#Crossplay Compatibility Settings

Your server comes preconfigured with full crossplay enabled. Players on Steam, Xbox, PS5, and Mac can access it immediately.

If you wish to customise which platforms can connect:

1. Access your control panel and Stop your server.

2. Navigate to the Config tab.

3. Locate the Crossplay Platforms setting.

4. Remove any platform from the list if you’d like to restrict access (e.g. to allow only Steam and Xbox, set it to Steam,Xbox).

5. Save and Start your server.

Once your server is running, it will appear in the in‑game Community Servers list across all enabled platforms; or players can choose to direct connect via your server’s IP address.
