Players with Steam version of Palworld can only play with other gamers who also have the game on Steam. This is because Steam and Xbox Game Pass run different version of the game due to certification issues with the Xbox version, as acknowledged by the game developers on their official discord server.

Palworld supports cross-save through Xbox cloud saves only for the Microsoft version of the game. Therefore, Steam versions of the game cannot be cross-saved.
