Palworld Faces Cheating Woes: Developer Implements Countermeasures in Latest Patch

Game Followers have been closely monitoring the evolution of Palworld, a recently launched game that has raised eyebrows, particularly drawing attention from The Pokémon Company due to its characters bearing striking resemblance to Pokémon.

Recent developments suggest that Palworld is now grappling with the challenge of cheaters. A social media post from the game’s official account on platform X conveyed, “It has been confirmed that some players are engaging in cheating on the official server.” The positive aspect is that Pocket Pair, the game’s developer, has swiftly responded with the release of Patch 0.1.3.0 on Steam, implementing “countermeasures against various cheats and exploits.” However, acknowledging the complexity of the issue, they noted, “It is currently difficult to completely eliminate all cheats immediately,” suggesting that resolving the problem may take some time. The studio emphasized its commitment to enhancing security to ensure a gaming environment where everyone can play without concerns, according to a previous tweet.

Although Pocket Pair did not specify the nature of the cheats impacting the Palworld server, there are indications that the hacker community is involved, engaging in widespread attacks, amassing substantial item stockpiles, and even obtaining server administrator access.

While the current extent of the issue appears manageable based on a cursory examination of the game’s community platforms, the inherent challenge with cheats and hacks lies in their potential to proliferate as individuals discover and disseminate effective methods. Regardless, Pocket Pair is resolute in its determination to curb these activities, recognizing the detrimental impact on fair-playing enthusiasts as Palworld continues to soar in popularity.
