What it is
Pocketpair's official Discord (discord.gg/pocketpair) is the only official channel moderated by the game's team. Covers Palworld and Craftopia (the studio's other title). In 2026 it's past 250k members, with separate channels per game, language (English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean), and content type (general, bug reports, build sharing, looking for group, modding).
What problem it solves
Official Palworld info is published in multiple places: Steam news, Pocketpair Twitter, Palworld Twitter, blog. Discord centralizes it and adds context: when something is announced, devs and community managers are there to answer questions live. Bug reports in the right channel are read (and often answered) by staff.
How it differs
Compared to r/Palworld (subreddit): Reddit is ideal for async discussion and long posts, but official announcements hit Discord first. Discord also has real-time LFG and structured bug reports.
Compared to community-run Discords (which exist): only the official has staff presence. For questions that need an authoritative answer (a patch broke something, a mechanic isn't working), the official one is the one that matters.
What people use it for
- Live patch notes: update announcements before they reach the Steam news feed.
- Bug reports: moderated channel where staff reads and sometimes responds.
- LFG (looking for group): find a group for raids or co-op exploration.
- Share builds and bases: showcase channels with community work.
- Modding discussion: dedicated channel where modders share WIPs and answer technical questions.
- Event updates: crossovers, limited-time events, special Pal drops.
Who this isn't for
If you just want weekly news summaries, follow the blog/Twitter instead. Discord is high-density and can be overwhelming if you don't mute channels you don't care about.
If you want structured guides and tutorials, wikis and YouTube are better. Discord is conversation, not documentation.
How it's used in practice
- Click discord.gg/pocketpair and accept the invite.
- Go to the role select channel.
- Pick the "Palworld" role to unlock the game's channels (without it you only see general channels).
- Optional: pick a language to access localized channels.
- Configure notification settings — mute high-traffic channels (general) and keep announcements and patch notes with notifications on.
Honest limitations
- Very high volume: channels like #general get hundreds of messages per hour. Without notification filters your phone will explode.
- Bug reports aren't guaranteed a response: staff reads but doesn't reply to everything. Don't expect one-on-one tickets.
- Main languages are English and Japanese: other languages have channels but they're less active.
- Discord requires an account and depends on Discord's availability (rare but outages happen).
- Not technical support: for refunds, account issues, billing, contact Steam/Xbox or the official contact — Discord doesn't resolve those.
How to get started
Click the link, accept invite, role select Palworld + language. Mute #general and keep #announcements + #patch-notes with notifications. Bookmark the LFG channel if you play co-op. Lurk a few days to get the server's culture before posting questions in #general.
