How to Convert a Palworld World From Single Player to Multiplayer
To change your Palworld world from a single-player one to a multi-player one do the following.
- First, open the game then click Start Game.
- Here you'll see your list of servers.
- Choose the server you want then click Change World Settings at the bottom of the Screen.
- Now change the setting under Multiplayer from OFF to ON and click Ok.
- Once you have done that you can load into the game and share your invite code with friends so that they can join as well.
Just remember that you are the Host so you will need to be online all the time for other players to join. If you want to have the option for a server to be accessible at any time you will need to use a dedicated server instead. In that case check out this guide: How to Set up your Own Palworld Dedicated Server

Can you Switch Palworld Worlds Between Single Player and Multiplayer?
Yes! Thankfully you can change Palworld from a multiplayer game to a single-player session on both Xbox and PC. The process is exactly the same so if you don't need co-op, or 32 other people in a game to compete with switching between game types can be super helpful. This works for both the game pass and Steam version for Palworld on Steam Deck, Xbox series X|S PC etc.
Palworld is proving to be a hard game to beat and it's only January 2024 so the bar has already been set pretty high! If you haven't already started playing it it's basically a survival game where you build bases and fight with your pals (think Pokemon). It's also possible to play Palworld with friends in public and on dedicated servers.
