The highly anticipated Palworld Xbox update v0.2.0.6 has finally arrived, but it seems to be plagued with a host of issues and problems that are leaving players frustrated.
Let’s dive in and take a closer look at what’s going on with this latest update.
Raid Boss “Bellanoir” Introduced
One of the key new features in this update is the introduction of the first raid boss, Bellanoir. This powerful enemy represents a significant challenge for players, as it cannot be captured but does drop valuable Pal Eggs upon defeat.
An “Extreme” version of Bellanoir is also available, offering an even more difficult encounter for those seeking an extra challenge.
New Items and Enhancements
The update also brings a variety of new items to the game, including Training Manuals, Ancient Technical Manuals, Recovery Meds, Homeward Thundercloud, Ability Glasses, and stat-boosting fruits. These additions aim to provide players with more strategic options and depth to their gameplay experience.

Pal Improvements
Certain Pals can now produce valuable resources at the ranch, and the update has made it easier to manage Pals’ statuses and ranks.
Balance Adjustments and Bug Fixes
The update addresses various balance issues and fixes numerous bugs to improve the overall stability and fairness of the game. It also includes measures to prevent Steam account spoofing and fix other critical vulnerabilities, ensuring a more secure gaming environment.
The Issues and Problems
However, the launch of this update has not been without its share of problems. Players have reported a variety of issues, including:
- Characters being reset to Level 1 after joining a friend’s world
- Loss of ownership of their base, with the game stating it “belongs to another guild”
- Bugs that were present in the PC release a week ago, leaving players frustrated and waiting for further fixes
- Issues with the game crashing or kicking players out of their servers
One player laments, “I was thoroughly enjoying it until I updated it and now I lost everything. Didn’t realize I had to host the game to ensure my stuff wouldn’t get lost.”
One Twitter User Wrote
Another player expresses their frustration, saying, “I thought this would replace ARK, not be the next Wildcard.”
Future Updates Planned
The developers have hinted at a larger, content-packed update planned for summer 2024, which is expected to introduce a new island with unique scenery, adventures, new Pals, buildings, weapons, and tower bosses.
However, it remains to be seen whether the team can address the current issues and provide a more stable and enjoyable experience for players before rolling out those ambitious plans.
As always, it’s important to keep an eye on the official Palworld channels for updates and communication from the developers as they work to resolve these problems.
