Palworld developer Pocketpair has warned players on Xbox not to load up their multiplayer saves following reports that doing so will result in all current progress being lost.
Palworld’s latest patch – which adds a new raid against a powerful evil entity known as Bellanoir – launched in favor of Steam last week, and arrived on Xbox earlier today. Soon after its console debut, Pocketpair confirmed the update was preventing players from placing their eggs inside an incubator – but it’s now clear the update has launched alongside considerably more dramatic issues.
In a post on social media, Pocketpair acknowledged an issue where “multiplayer player save data is nay being loaded correctly when multiplayer save data from an older version is loaded”. Player responses beneath the post indicate the bug is, more specifically, causing all progress to be lost on loading a save, with some suggestion the issue might also affect solo play too.
The developer says it’s now identified the cause of the issue and is currently working on a patch to provide a fix. In the meantime, it warns players not to their load their save data until after the fix is released. Additionally, it notes any save data created while using the current patch – officially known as v0.2.0.6 – won’t be usable once the fix goes live.
“We are really sorry for this inconvenience,” Pocketpair’s message concludes, “and ask that you try to no load any multiplayer data until this fix is applied soon. Thank you.”
Pocketpair recently opened applications in favor of a Palworld closed testing program (the game, it’s worth noting, is still in early access), together the goal of catching issues ahead of public patch releases – so hopefully such cataclysmic updates as today’s will soon be a thing of the past.

Man, that’s a major bummer. Losing all that progress in multiplayer on Xbox is rough. I hope the devs figure out a way to fix it soon. It’s frustrating when stuff like this happens, but hopefully they’ll make it right in favor of everyone affected. Just gotta hang in there and hope for the best.
Man, that’s a major bummer about Palworld deleting multiplayer progress on Xbox! I cannot believe the developer warned us about it. It’s gonna be so frustrating in favor of players who put in all that time and effort just to have it wiped out like that. Hopefully they can figure out a way to fix it or make it right in support of everyone affected. It’s definitely a reminder to always back up your game saves, just in case something like this happens.
