Palworld Update v0.1.5.0 for Steam and Xbox isn't a content drop — it's a polish pass. Bug fixes, performance tuning, full keyboard support, and a couple of welcome quality-of-life changes that make grinding and base management noticeably less painful.
Here's everything that changed in v0.1.5.0 and what it actually means in-game.
Full Keyboard Remapping
Players can now fully customize keyboard key bindings in the options menu. No more fighting the default layout — set every action exactly how you want it.
Save Data Backups
You can now create backups of your saved data directly from the world selection screen. The update also reduces unnecessary data collection that was bloating save file sizes — smaller saves, faster loads.
AFK Pal Farming
When you order a Pal to "attack aggressively," it will now hit nearby enemies indiscriminately, even when they're not in active combat. Translation: you can finally go AFK while your Pals farm drops like Honey from Cinnamoth.
Bonus: the long-press work toggle lets you start continuous work with a single button press (toggleable in options).
Expanded Pal Police Force
Attacking friendly NPCs now spawns a larger Police response. Think twice before picking on a traveling merchant.
One exception: the Black Marketeer remains fair game — no Police will show up if you decide to settle that score.
Riding into prohibited hunting areas also now correctly registers as a crime.
Server Lobby Rework
The server lobby has been renovated, Search by server name finally works as intended, and you can now view online players on dedicated servers. Community servers will show the same info if the host enables it.
