Pocketpair has released its third-party update this month, which shows how developers are constantly addressing bugs and issues to offer players an immersive experience. Palworld Patch Notes V0.2.3.0 Update is available to download and install on both PC and Xbox. In recent times, we have seen the player count of the game slowly decline, which is said to be common as players move to other games because there is no new content to explore despite the popularity of the game.
However, the game is still able to maintain a respectable 50K concurrent players on Steam, and as things improve, players may return to the game. Although developers said they had already planned several new features for the game to get the players back to the game after either being frustrated due to a glitch or with the limited options to explore in the game, today in this article, I will be sharing what’s new and things that Studio has made adjustments to, bug fixes, and more. Without further ado, let’s take a closer look at this.
Palworld v2.0.3.0 Patch Update
PocketPair is one of the biggest open-world survival games with its palpable, gun-focused gameplay; however, like other early games, this game is still in beta and expects to have multiple glitches and errors as part of the process. This update did fix a few bugs and tweak many things to make the game more balanced with new features and items. This is said to be a minor update ahead of a major update. The update weighs around 2.3GB on PC and Xbox consoles. The primary aim of this update is to have a balanced experience in which there are slight adjustments, optimizations, and bug fixes.
