The Palworld player limit on a dedicated server is 32 players at once. On a FREAKHOSTING server, Player slots is set from the MAX_PLAYERS startup variable (1–32) and you can’t change it in the panel. If you need a different number of slots, open a ticket. Guild size (Players per guild, up to 100) and base limits you change yourself in Palworld settings > Bases and guilds.

Can you increase the player count in Palworld past 32?

No. Palworld’s dedicated server supports up to 32 players, and the panel allows 1–32 slots. Server-side mod loaders such as UE4SS don’t run on our Linux Palworld servers, so there is no way past 32 on them.

How to change the number of player slots

Player slots shows in Palworld settings > Your server with the note “Set by your host (startup variable MAX_PLAYERS); it cannot be changed here.” If you need a different number of slots, open a ticket and tell us the number you want (up to 32).

How much RAM do 32 players need?

Palworld uses a lot of memory, and more with every player and every base. The panel’s Checks advise about 32 GB for 32 players. With fewer slots or fewer Pals per base, the server is steadier. More Pals per base and more bases mean more work for the server, so raise Pals working per base in small steps. See memory and restarts.

Frequently asked questions

What is the max player count in Palworld?

32 players on a dedicated server. Our panel allows 1–32 slots.

How do I increase party size in Palworld?

There is no party size setting. A guild is the group players share bases with: raise Players per guild (1–100, default 20).

Why can’t I edit Player slots?

Slots are set from the MAX_PLAYERS startup variable by us. If you need a different number of slots, open a ticket.

No. PalGuard (now PalDefender) is an anti-cheat for Windows servers only. See PalGuard.
