Palworld hits early access soon and many PC players are wondering, does Palworld have mod support?

Palworld is an interesting-looking game that’s been floating around in the periphery of the internet since a viral trailer had viewers declare the game ‘Pokemon with guns’.

Of course, the game is a little more than that. Palworld is an intriguing blend of the building and survival mechanics of the Ark franchise, the varied creature collection of Pokemon, and the open-world traversal of more recent Zelda titles.

Will Palworld have mod support at launch?

When Palworld enters early access on January 19, 2024, it will not have mod support. It’s a bit of a letdown because the prerelease footage of the game is enough to get the cogs in our brains turning with some awesome ideas. 

Don’t let that discourage you though. There have been some developments that will be music to the ears of anyone hoping to create or use mods in Palworld.
