Summary

  • Palia will be released for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S alongside the Elderwood expansion on May 13, 2025.
  • The free-to-play cozy game has been a hit on PC and Nintendo Switch.

The popular free-to-play fantasy life simulation game titled Palia is set to debut on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S starting May 13, in tandem with the much-awaited Elderwood expansion. At present, the game can be enjoyed on PC and Nintendo Switch platforms. By next month, more players will have an opportunity to join Palia’s warm and inviting universe.

First introduced with much excitement in 2021, Palia marks the first venture by Singularity 6, a team comprising ex-Blizzard and Riot developers. In this game, players are unexpectedly transported into the realm of the Majiri people, who have been under the impression that humans were extinct for quite some time. Falling under the umbrella of the ever-favored ‘cozy’ genre, Palia eschews combat in favor of activities like farming, gathering resources, crafting items, hunting, insect collecting, cooking, and other engaging pursuits. The creators have already released 24 content updates since its launch, promising many more to follow. At long last, a much-anticipated announcement has been made, and this fantasy game is now preparing to welcome a multitude of new explorers.

In a fresh trailer unveiled, the game titled Palia is set to debut for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on May 13. This launch date coincides with the much-anticipated arrival of the Elderwood expansion. The expansion promises to be the game’s most significant update since its release, introducing a new, ominous zone teeming with novel creatures, quests, and intriguing dark lore for players to explore. Cross-play compatibility will be available on both the PS5 and Xbox versions of Palia, linking them with the PC and Switch editions of the game. Moreover, players eager to invite friends can capitalize on Palia‘s “Refer a Friend” initiative, which offers five distinct sizes of the “Elderwood Fun Guy” plush as rewards for introducing new gamers.
