You’ll finally be able to play Palworld with friends on other platforms later this month. Developer Pocket Pair announced the news on social media earlier today, along with a surprise discount for PlayStation 5 and Steam players — 25% off for a short time. Pocket Pair also hinted at “some little surprises” in the update, though the team didn’t give any clue as to what those might be.

Crossplay is easily one of the most requested features in Palworld since its release in early access in 2024. Fans of the game could only play with others on the same platform as themselves, but now anyone — including players on macOS — can join up to build massive bases, fight off the Syndicate, and take down that pesky Menasting.

The announcement was immediately met with a positive reception from fans, although details on exactly how the crossplay system will work isn’t clear. It’s thought that one player could turn their game from a singleplayer to a multiplayer experience, but their friends would have to start a new character under that specific save.

Perhaps Pocket Pair will reveal more details about how the system will work. Long-time players don’t want to lose the progress they’ve established in single-player gameplay. World transfers for Pals is a feature Pocket Pair says will come later this year, and that could be the solution to maintaining progress.

This is just the first of several planned updates for this year. The Palworld roadmap hints at a lot more to come, including end-game content, a final boss, and even a Terraria crossover. The roadmap also includes interface and performance optimizations to help the game run that much better on weaker hardware.

How to spot Crypt Devourers in The First Berserker: Khazan

Khazan looks at a mimic

As you navigate the challenging world of The First Berserker: Khazan, you'll spend a significant amount of time checking every nook and cranny for sweet loot. There's plenty of it to find, too. But as with almost every Soulslike game, some of The First Berserker: Khazan's loot is sporting a trap! While not technically a mimic, there are some scary things lying in wait for you as you pick up loot throughout the game's levels, and failing to recognize them could cost you a huge chunk of health -- or maybe even your life.

Here's how to spot one of these traps and what you can do to save yourself from them.
How to spot a Crypt Devourer in The First Berserker: Khazan
While exploring levels in The First Berserker: Khazan, you'll occasionally see dead bodies that glow red. Interacting with these corpses will normally earn you some Soul Tier Dust and a brief dialogue sequence, but some are housing something dangerous beneath them. When you interact with one of these, you'll be greeted by a giant worm-like creature called a Crypt Devourer, who will grab you, deal damage, then throw you haphazardly onto the ground. In some cases, the throw can even send you into a pack of enemies or off the side of a level where you'll fall to your death.

Capcom races to fix a game-breaking bug in Monster Hunter Wilds

A haunter and palico in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Monster Hunter Wilds is a runaway success by any metric, shattering previous Capcom records for concurrent players on Steam and bringing loads of new hunters into the fold. Unfortunately, a few players have encountered a bug that halts their forward progress in the main story, and Capcum is rushing to issue a fix.

To simplify the bug, it makes a necessary NPC play hooky. Rather than appearing where they are supposed to, the NPC just...doesn't show up, and without them, you can't progress any further. However, if you've progressed to Chapter 5-3 already, you're in the clear and have nothing to worry about.

The third and fourth chapters of Deltarune are still on the way

One of the main characters from Deltarune Chapter 1.

Toby Fox, the mind behind the acclaimed Undertale, announced late yesterday evening that Deltarune chapters three and four are still on the way, but there's still a lot of work to be done. In a post on BlueSky, Fox said he is "still console testing" and though he's found fewer bugs than before, there are still plenty to correct — and he hasn't even started testing on the PlayStation 5 yet.

This update comes a month after professional bug testing began for the fourth chapter of the game on PC. Two weeks ago, Fox said he has to implement and test trophies on PlayStation, as they're a requirement for the game to be released on the platform.
