Palworld: How to make an Xbox dedicated server

If you’re looking to start a Palworld dedicated server you can connect to through the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or even on PC through the Microsoft Store, you’ve come to the right place. While this server type does not support cross-play with Steam players, it still works with the current and last-gen Xbox.

First off, you should know that you’ll need to use SteamCMD to create this server so you can set it up without creating an account. Also, the process differs slightly depending on if you’re using SteamCMD through Windows or Linux.

Xbox dedicated server on Windows

Download the dedicated server

To download the server, you must execute this command at the command prompt: “steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit”

Change dedicated server settings to allow connections

Before you change the settings to allow connections on Xbox, you’ll want to generate the target configuration file, start the dedicated server (skip to the next section for that), and then stop it. You can now make these changes once the server stops:

Write the following content in “steamappscommonPalServerPalSavedConfigWindowsServerPalWorldSettings.ini” and save the file:

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]OptionSettings=(AllowConnectPlatform=Xbox)

Starting the dedicated server

1. Move to the directory where the server was downloaded. This should be under the directory where SteamCMD was installed (cd .steamappscommonPalServer).
2. Execute [PalServer.exe] to start the server.

Configure for community server

On Xbox, you cannot connect to the server by typing out an IP address, so instead you’ll have to configure the server as a community server, and then ask players to join from the community server list.

Add the following options to the startup arguments: “PalServer.exe -publiclobby”

Xbox dedicated servers on Linux

Download the dedicated server

Execute the following command to download the dedicated server: “steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit”

Change dedicated server settings to allow connections

Just like with Windows, you must first generate the target configuration file, start the dedicated server (explained in the next section) once, and then stop it. You can then make the following changes:

Write the following content in “steamapps/common/PalServer/Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/PalWorldSettings.ini” and save the file:

[/Script/Pal.PalGameWorldSettings]OptionSettings=(AllowConnectPlatform=Xbox)

Starting the dedicated server

1. Move the directory where the server was downloaded. If you didn’t set an installation directory on SteamCMD, it’ll be in your home directory (cd ~/Steam/steamapps/common/PalServer).
2. Execute “./PalServer.sh” to start the server.

Configure for community server

On Xbox, you cannot connect to the server by typing out an IP address, so instead you’ll have to configure the server as a community server, and then ask players to join from the community server list.

Add the following options to the startup arguments: “./PalServer.sh -publiclobby”

Now you know what it takes to start and run a dedicated server for Palworld on Xbox! This should make it easy for you and your Xbox friends to play Palworld and explore the new region of Sakurajima.
