Console Players
Xbox and PS5 players can only join via the in-game community server browser — there is no direct IP option.
- Launch Palworld
- Select Join Multiplayer Game
- Go to the Community Servers tab
- Search for your server by exact name
- Select and join
Requirements for Console Access
The server must have:
-publiclobbyin startup argumentsServerName,PublicIP, andPublicPortset in PalWorldSettings.ini- Port 27015 UDP open (Steam query port)
- Crossplay enabled
📝 Note: The browser only shows the first 200 results — search by exact server name to find it.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Server not in browser | Set PublicIP and PublicPort in settings. Ensure port 27015 is open. |
| "Connection timed out" | Verify port 8211 UDP is open. Check the IP is correct. |
| Version mismatch | Both game and server must be on the same version. |
| Console players can't find server | Ensure -publiclobby flag is set and crossplay is enabled. |
