Palworld Update 0.1.3.0: Fixes, Cheat Countermeasures, and No New Features

Palworld, the popular crafting and survival game developed by Pocketpair, has recently released a new update for its Steam version, titled 0.1.3.0. This update comes with several bug fixes and countermeasures against cheats and exploits. However, it does not introduce any new features for players to enjoy.

The main changes in the Palworld update 0.1.3.0 include the resolution of a bug that prevented the loading screen from ending when logging into the world. Another issue was addressed, where the world date was not displayed correctly and appeared to reset. Additionally, various incorrect text was corrected.

Moreover, the update includes countermeasures against various cheats and exploits. These measures aim to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all players. However, it is important to note that the Xbox version of the game, v0.1.1.2, is yet to be released. Pocketpair stated that it will be released “as soon as it is ready.”

Palworld has been a subject of controversy since its explosive early access launch, with claims of it being a Pokemon rip-off. The game has sold over eight million copies in just six days, making it one of the biggest games in the world. However, it has also faced criticism and even death threats. Nintendo has taken action against the game, removing an eye-catching Pokemon mod and issuing a statement, intending to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokemon.

Despite the controversy, Palworld continues to attract a large player base. The game offers a unique experience, combining crafting, survival, and exploration elements. Players can create their own worlds, build structures, and tame various creatures called Pals. The game also features a multiplayer mode, allowing players to explore and interact with each other.

The lack of new features in the Palworld update 0.1.3.0 might be disappointing for some players. However, the focus on fixing critical issues and countering cheats is essential to ensure the game remains enjoyable and fair for all players. Pocketpair has stated that it will prioritize fixing critical issues before moving on to adding new in-game features, such as PvP.

In conclusion, the Palworld update 0.1.3.0 brings several bug fixes and countermeasures against cheats and exploits. While it does not introduce any new features, the focus on improving the game experience is crucial to maintaining a fair and enjoyable environment for all players. The Xbox version of the game is expected to be released soon, and players can continue to enjoy the unique crafting, survival, and exploration experience that Palworld offers.

Palworld is available now on Steam, with the Xbox version expected to be released soon. For more information, visit the official Palworld website or check out the game’s Steam page.
