Yes. Palworld launched on PS5 during Sony’s State of Play on September 24, 2024. The initial rollout covered 68 countries and regions, but Japan was excluded until a later release. The dates differ across official sources: PlayStation’s recap and US store listing say September 24, while developer Pocketpair’s launch announcement is dated September 25.
When did Palworld come out on PS5?
Sony’s State of Play took place on September 24, 2024. In its official recap, PlayStation said, “Today sees the release of Palworld onto PS5!” (PlayStation Blog, September 24, 2024).
The official US PlayStation Store page also gives September 24, 2024 as the release date for the PS5 game (US PlayStation listing). Pocketpair’s English announcement, however, is dated September 25, 2024. These sources give different calendar dates, so September 24 is the date shown in Sony’s event recap and US listing, while September 25 is the date on Pocketpair’s announcement—not a single date that should be applied to every region.
Where was Palworld available at launch?
Pocketpair said the initial PS5 rollout covered 68 countries and regions. That describes the scope of the initial release, not universal availability in every market. Japan was not part of that initial announcement; Pocketpair said at the time that a Japanese release date had not been determined (Pocketpair, September 25, 2024).

Japan’s later release
Pocketpair announced the PS5 release in Japan on October 4, 2024 (Pocketpair, October 4, 2024). Japan therefore followed the initial rollout rather than launching alongside the markets covered in the September announcement.
