With its quirky creature collecting premise, Palworld seems ripe for imaginative mod creations. But does this newly released survival game actually support modding right now? Here is an overview of the current mod situation in Palworld.

Does Palworld Early Access Have Mods?
When Palworld first entered early access on January 19, 2024, it did not feature any mod support capabilities. Players can not install or access any mods that alter or expand the base Palworld experience.
This absence of mods applies across all platforms where Palworld is available in early access.

Planned Official Mod Support for Palworld
According to the Palworld Steam store page FAQ section, the developers at Pocket Pair do plan to implement official mod support down the line. However, there is currently no set timeframe for when this mod functionality will be added.
The mod support will likely arrive sometime after Palworld exits early access and sees its full 1.0 launch. It is also probable the mod features will debut first on PC, before potentially coming to Xbox platforms later on.

Unofficial Mods May Appear
Even without built-in mod tools, creative players often find ways to unofficially modify games. Unofficial Palworld mods hosted on third-party sites may emerge before official tools are implemented.
But most players will likely wait for the official mod support to create and enjoy Palworld content expansions safely. The developers' embrace of eventual modding bodes well for the game's future creative potential.
