The developer of Palworld has confirmed that the price of the popular creature-collecting survival game will not increase when it leaves early access and reaches its full 1.0 release. The studio framed the decision as "a small way of saying thank you" to the players who have supported the game, meaning existing and prospective owners will continue to pay the current early-access price rather than a raised full-release cost.

This is notable because it is common for games to raise their price once they exit early access and reach a finished 1.0 state, so keeping the price unchanged is being presented as a goodwill gesture towards the community. The move rewards both those who bought in early and newcomers who can still purchase at the lower rate ahead of the milestone update.
