TL;DR – Our game’s business model will stay the same; it will continue to be buy-to-play and not shift to a free-to-play (F2P) or Games-as-a-Service (GaaS) model.
Recently, an article highlighted our discussion on the future trajectory of Palworld and our thoughts on sustaining the game’s long-term development.
This interview was actually conducted several months ago. During that period, we were exploring the best way to ensure Palworld’s longevity and continued growth. Although we are still deliberating internally, we have determined that adopting an F2P or GaaS model is not the right path for us.
Palworld was originally designed without these models in mind, making it extremely challenging to adapt the game accordingly at this stage. Moreover, we understand that this approach does not align with our players’ preferences, and we always prioritize their experience.
While we are contemplating the introduction of skins and downloadable content (DLC) to support future development, we plan to have further discussions with the community as we approach those decisions. For now, our main focus remains on making Palworld the best game possible.
We apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused and hope this clears up our stance.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Palworld.
