Players React: Relief, Jokes & War Stories

The patch announcement sparked immediate reactions across social media:

“Stopped playing because I was having error message every 30 seconds. Changed the auto save to 30 minutes and the game stopped saving. Lost like 3 hours of gameplay” – @_ToiM22

“OMG, thank you soo much pocketpair, you guys are amazing” – @KyllieCosta

“Meanwhile the Xbox Series S version is poorly optimized garbage since day one” – @GameBugLag

Why This Fix Matters Most on PS5

While Palworld has seen various platform-specific issues, the autosave problems were particularly punishing on PS5 due to:

  1. The console’s quick resume feature sometimes interfering with saves
  2. Longer play sessions making progress loss more devastating
  3. The absence of mods that PC players used as workarounds

  • Waiting a few seconds before closing the game
  • Reporting any lingering issues to Pocketpair
