PocketPair has released a new update for the PlayStation 5 version of Palworld, specifically targeting persistent issues with the game's autosave functionality. Patch v0.5.4.70218 aims to resolve problems that continued to occur in certain situations, despite previous attempts to fix them.
PS5 Autosave Function Finally Fixed
PlayStation 5 players of Palworld can breathe a sigh of relief as developer PocketPair has addressed the stubborn autosave issues that have been plaguing the game. The latest patch, version 0.5.4.70218, released on April 25, 2025, specifically targets these persistent problems that continued to occur despite earlier fixes.
This update represents PocketPair's continued commitment to improving the PS5 version of their popular creature-collection survival game. The autosave function is particularly crucial in an open-world title like Palworld, where players invest significant time building bases, capturing Pals, and exploring the vast environment.
What Was Happening With Autosave?
While the patch notes don't detail the specific autosave issues players were experiencing, the update description indicates that the problems were situational, occurring only under certain circumstances. This explains why previous patches hadn't completely resolved the issue, as these edge cases likely required additional investigation and targeted fixes.
Players who had experienced lost progress due to autosave failures should find these problems resolved after installing the latest patch. For PlayStation 5 users who haven't updated yet, it's recommended to do so before starting your next play session.
Developer Appreciation
In their announcement, PocketPair expressed gratitude to their player community, though the full message appears to have been truncated in the original post. This sentiment aligns with the developer's ongoing communication style, regularly thanking players for their patience as they work through technical issues.
The official announcement was shared through the game's English Twitter/X account (@Palworld_EN), where players can find the original post and any follow-up information.
Ongoing Support for Palworld
Since its January 2024 launch, PocketPair has maintained a steady stream of updates and patches for Palworld across all platforms. The PlayStation 5 version, which came later than the initial PC and Xbox releases, has received particular attention to ensure parity with other platforms.
This latest patch demonstrates the developer's commitment to addressing even the most persistent technical issues, ensuring players can enjoy their Pal-collecting adventures without worrying about lost progress.
