If you own Palworld on Steam, check under “tools” and you’ll find an item named “Palworld Dedicated Server”. Install this and launch it once so it sets up all the files correctly, then take the following steps:

• Select “Browse Local Files” for the Palworld server program on Steam and navigate to: “/Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/PalWorldSettings.ini” and open it as a text document.
• Look for a section that says “AllowConnectPlatform = Steam” and change it to say “AllowConnectPlatform = Xbox”.
• Then look for the section that says “SeverName =” and add a unique name to your server to make it easier to find. Along this section, you can also add a password to the server under “ServerPassword” if you want.
• Save the document and once again launch “Palworld Dedicated Sever” from Steam, you will now be able to connect to it on Xbox.

With everything set up and the server running, joining it should be straightforward, just follow these steps:

• On Palworld’s main menu go to “Join Multiplayer Game”.
• Select “Community Severs”
• Enter your server’s name in the search bar.
• Select your server to connect.

If your server isn’t appearing, you may have to wait a few minutes for it to show up after launching. However, it’s always worth double-checking you followed the above steps correctly, just in case.
