'Palworld' Joins Xbox Game Pass, Bringing Pokémon-Like Action with Guns

Palworld, a game reminiscent of Pokémon but with guns and survival crafting elements, is set to launch in early access on January 19 and will be available on Xbox Game Pass on the same day. The game features Pokémon-like creatures called Pals that can use firearms, be hunted, and even exploited for labor. With base building, crafting, dungeons, multiplayer, and plans for post-launch updates, Palworld aims to offer a unique gaming experience that may attract attention due to its controversial concept.
