Palworld Patch 0.1.5.0 – Backups, Pathing, and Keybinding

Palworld’s Patch 0.1.5.0 went live last night, bringing with it the largest update to the game yet. After the major success of the game’s Early Access launch last month, the developers at Pocket Pair have been hard at work improving the game, making adjustments, and fixing bugs, and it shows.

The majority of Patch 0.1.5.0 is devoted to fixing bugs and adding quality-of-life features. The most prominent changes include adding the ability to back up saves so that progress isn’t lost, giving players the ability to customize their keybinds, and altering the prioritization AI of Pals so they navigate your base easier.

This is all in keeping with the earliest steps on the Palworld Roadmap which the developers released shortly after the game’s launch, indicating Pocket Pair’s desire to stay on track and make their game — which had an otherwise very stable launch of Early Access — as complete as possible.

Without further ado, though, let’s take a look at Palworld’s Patch 0.1.5.0.
