Palworld players are pulling off some incredible launch trickshots, CoD-style montages could be coming soon

As if the very popular, but also very controversial Palworld wasn’t becoming inescapable enough for those of us who have to use the internet on a daily basis, it’s quickly becoming a very potent source of both Call of Duty and Fortnite-esque trickshots and the kinds of launches Skyrim’s giants are infamous for.

Given the fact the game’s still in the early access phase, it hasn’t been too surprising to see that it’s been home to a lot of the kinds of bugs and glitches you might expect to encounter at that point in a title’s lifespan. While some of these teething troubles and fun quirks, such as one that’s seen the game get stuck at a black screen on launch, are of the frustrating variety, a number can either be useful or fun.

One example of the latter is the fact that hopping on top of a Pal Sphere as it captures a Pal can send your character flying upwards, a bit like you’ve jumped on a bouncy castle. While this neat little trick has become pretty common knowledge over the past week or so, some players have now mastered it enough to pull off some pretty impressive trickshots.

Palworld has taken off—with a huge player count that's set Steam records, its own controversies surrounding unfortunate game mechanics, and AI worries. Now it has an updated roadmap, as posted to the game's official Discord server this morning...

Palworld updates will add PvP arenas, Raid bosses, new islands, server transfers and Steam-Xbox crossplay

Forthcoming Palworld updates will add PvP multiplayer arenas, raid bosses, Xbox feature improvements, Steam-Xbox crossplay, extra islands, server transfers, new Pals and new technologies, according to an early access roadmap just released by developers Pocketpair. The monster-catching survival sim continues to set concurrent play records on Steam, and Pocketpair are presently focussed on fixing bugs. Beyond that, though, the sky appears to be the limit, as you might expect of a game that shifted a million copies in eight hours. In particular, Pocketpair seem markedly more confident about the odds of adding PvP to the game, having downplayed the idea in interviews before release.

Sales have far exceeded the development team's expectations, and we are currently experiencing many problems due to excessive access congestion, among other challenges.

This Palworld exploit lets you catch bosses and add them to your party

If you’re looking for a way to get a leg up in the very popular, but also very controversial Palworld, a new glitch that’s been uncovered by players will let you work a bit of magic to capture some powerful tower boss Pals - and their human riders.

While the game’s been found to have plenty of other bugs so far, most of them have been of the frustrating variety, rather than resembling this kind of potentially useful little exploit. For example, being greeted with a black screen on startup - an issue which Pocketpair aimed to fix on certain platforms with an update it deployed yesterday - isn’t exactly something that can help you become Lord of all Pals.

However, one glitch recently spotted by players (thanks, PC Gamer) looks like it might be, assuming you’re interested in using a little trickery to capture a tower boss. It looks like the most obvious target to try and perform the glitch on is the early boss pairing of Zoe and Grizzbolt, who you can find at Rayne Syndicate Tower.
