Palworld is a global phenomenon, having released on 19/01/2024 and selling over 2 million copies by 20/01/2024. One of the many things about the Pokémon-inspired survival game that fans are raving about are dedicated servers. A dedicated server allows users to host their official world, whether on their own machine or through a service provider like Shockbyte. One of the many questions that are arising is 'How do I host a Palworld Dedicated Server?' – don't worry, we're here to answer that question!

Use your own machine
You can use your own computer to host a Palworld Dedicated Server, but this is likely to come with many issues. Servers require extensive resources to run, which will make playing and hosting at the same time difficult, especially if you have a lower-end computer or laptop. However, it can be a good option if you can't afford to use a host like Shockbyte. We've attached a step-by-step on how to set up Palworld server by yourself below.
- Open up your steam client.
- Head over to your Steam Library, and ensure 'Tools' is in your Library search filter.
- Then, type 'Palworld' and select the 'Palworld Dedicated Server' option.
- Install and launch the server software.
- To launch a public community server, hit the 'Open and start as a community server' button. If not, select 'Play Palworld Dedicated Server' and hit play.
