Yes—Pocketpair has an official Palworld dating sim, Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~. It casts you as a transfer student at Private Palpagos Academy, where you can talk with Pals and grow closer to them. The game is not available yet, and Steam currently lists its release date as “To be announced.”

Is the Palworld dating sim real?

Yes. Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~ is an officially listed Pocketpair game, not just an April Fools’ concept. Pocketpair’s game catalog includes the title, and the studio linked to its Steam page in an official post on April 1, 2026.

The April Fools’-style origin can be confusing: Pocketpair’s original announcement on March 31, 2024 gave April 1, 2025 as a scheduled release date. That date is historical, not current. The live Steam listing now says the game is not yet available and its planned release date is “To be announced.”

What do you do in Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~?

The Steam description sets the game at Private Palpagos Academy, at the foot of the World Tree. You play a transfer student and chat with Pals to get to know them; the premise is that those relationships could grow into something beyond friendship. That is the confirmed romance setup, but the listing does not establish specific routes, characters, or relationship mechanics.

Minecraft – Xbox 361
  • The infinite possibilities in Minecraft just got bigger; The gaming phenomenon is coming to the console for the first time exclusively to Xbox 360

The tone is not simply cozy school romance. The store description also jokes about dismantling and eating Pals, and it carries an explicit warning: “This game contains horror elements. Please take care if you are sensitive to such content.”

GamesRadar reported that Pocketpair head of publishing and communications John “Bucky” Buckley described the project on the official Palworld Discord as a “little goofy thing.” The outlet also quoted Buckley saying, “We’re not making an 18+ sex game,” and “It isn’t a porno game – obviously.” Those remarks clarify the intended tone, but they are not an age rating or a substitute for the Steam page’s content warning.

When does the Palworld dating sim come out?

There is no confirmed release date. Steam currently labels the game “not yet available” and gives its planned release date as “To be announced.” The 2025 date appeared in Pocketpair’s 2024 announcement; it should not be treated as the current schedule.

You can use the Steam page’s wishlist option to receive a notification when availability changes. Check that listing for the latest release information rather than relying on old announcement coverage.

What platforms, languages, and PC requirements are listed?

Pocketpair lists Steam as the platform. Steam identifies the game as single-player and lists English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese interface and subtitle support. The official sources cited here do not confirm a console release.

Steam’s listed PC requirements

Specification Minimum Recommended
Operating system Windows 10 (64-bit) Not stated on the Steam listing
Processor Intel Core i3 6100 Intel Core i5 3470
Memory 4 GB RAM 4 MB RAM

Storage 4 MB 4 MB

The listing’s recommended-memory and storage figures look anomalous: it gives 4 MB for recommended memory and 4 MB for storage in both columns. Recheck the live Steam page before using these numbers to assess compatibility; do not assume they mean 4 GB.
