Buy Palworld for Steam and Xbox via key or gift

Palworld is an open-world survival, crafting, and creature-collection game built around companions called Pals, made by the Japanese studio Pocketpair in Tokyo. It launched in Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview on January 19, 2024, arrived on PlayStation 5 in September 2024, and came to macOS in March 2025. The full 1.0 release is planned for 2026, according to an official Pocketpair statement from September 2025. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and is developed and published by Pocketpair, an independent game studio.

In the first eight hours after launch, Palworld sold over 1 million copies, passed 8 million in six days, and reached 15 million copies on Steam plus 10 million players on Xbox by February 2024. According to IGN in February 2025, the total audience exceeded 30 million players across all platforms. Palworld is one of the most concurrently played games in Steam history, peaking at 2.1 million concurrent players in January 2024 — second only to PUBG: Battlegrounds.

Gameplay centers on Pals: creatures you capture with Pal Spheres, train through battles, assign to farms or production lines, and use for transport or as combat companions alongside firearms. The open world is home to more than a hundred Pal species, each with its own element and passive abilities. Beyond solo play, you can run dedicated servers for co-op with up to 32 players, and cross-platform play between Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation 5 has been available since the 0.5.0 update on March 19, 2025.

What's included in Palworld and the available delivery options

The Ashop catalog lists eight Palworld items — the base game in several delivery formats, a soundtrack bundle, and three bundles paired with other games. The Palworld content is the same across every item; only the delivery method and any extra titles change.

Palworld (PC) — Steam Key — GLOBAL

A global Steam key you activate on your own account through the standard "Activate a Product on Steam" flow. The key is not region-locked, so it works in most countries, including Russia. After activation, Palworld stays in your Steam library permanently, and every patch and update from Pocketpair arrives automatically.

Palworld (PC) — Steam Key — EUROPE

A European Steam key, activated on a Steam account set to one of the European regions. The content and updates match the global version — only the regional key zone differs.

Palworld (Gift)

Palworld delivered as a Steam gift. The supplier sends a Steam Gift invitation link to your Steam login or to the email linked to your Steam account. You accept the gift yourself from your Steam profile, with no password sharing required. A handy option if you would rather not hand over any Steam account details.

Palworld (Xbox One, Windows 10) — Xbox Live Key — EUROPE

An Xbox Live key for Palworld. You redeem it in the Microsoft Store through the "Redeem code" section on an Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S console, or in the Xbox app on Windows 10/11. It supports Play Anywhere, so after activation the game is available on both Xbox and PC under one Microsoft account. Region: Europe.

Palworld Game + Soundtrack Bundle (Gift)

The game plus its official soundtrack, delivered as a Steam gift. A great pick for collectors and anyone who enjoys the music from the open world of Palpagos.

Palworld + Craftopia (Gift)

A Steam gift containing two Pocketpair games — Palworld and Craftopia. Craftopia is the studio's earlier project: an open-world sandbox blending crafting, survival, and seasons in a single title. It's not an expansion for Palworld but a separate game in your Steam library.

Palworld + Necesse (Gift)

A Steam gift with Palworld and Necesse. Necesse is a pixel-art sandbox RPG with survival elements from Fair Games Studio, inspired by Terraria and Stardew Valley but focused on colony building and quests. It's a standalone game with no technical link to Palworld.

[ULTRAPALS] Palworld + ULTRAKILL (Gift)

A bundle with Palworld and ULTRAKILL — a fast-paced first-person shooter in the spirit of Quake and DOOM by Hakita and New Blood Interactive. Two different titles in one Steam gift, with no shared content.

How to buy Palworld for Steam and Xbox on Ashop

The purchase takes just a few steps. Activation differs slightly between a Steam Key, a Steam Gift, and an Xbox Live Key, as explained below.

Step 1 — choose an item from the catalog

There are eight Palworld options on the Ashop page. To play on Steam, pick the Steam Key Global (works on any region) or the Steam Gift (no password sharing). To play on Xbox or on Windows through the Xbox app, choose the Xbox Live Key Europe. If you want to try related titles, go for Palworld + Craftopia, Palworld + Necesse, or [ULTRAPALS] Palworld + ULTRAKILL.

Step 2 — place your order

Click "Buy," sign in or register on Ashop, and enter an email for communication and confirmation. The email is needed to deliver the key and to stay in touch with the operator.

Step 3 — choose a payment method

Your options include a MIR bank card, Visa and Mastercard from Russian banks, SBP through any banking app, and USDT, BTC, or ETH cryptocurrency. The available methods appear on the payment page — pick whichever suits you.

Step 4 — complete the payment

Once you pay, the order goes to the supplier's operator. Processing time depends on the delivery type and current workload, and the order status is shown in your Ashop account.

Step 5 — activate the game

What happens next depends on the delivery type:

• Steam Key (Global or Europe) — the operator sends a 16-digit key. Open Steam, go to "Games → Activate a Product on Steam," and enter the key. Palworld appears in your library. No password sharing — you activate it yourself.
• Steam Gift — the supplier sends a Steam Gift invitation link to your Steam login or linked email. Accept the gift from your Steam profile. Again, no password sharing.
• Xbox Live Key Europe — the operator sends a 25-digit code. Open the Microsoft Store on Xbox or the Xbox app on Windows, go to "Redeem code," and enter it. Palworld is added to your library. No password — activation is entirely on your side.

After activation, the game is added to your Steam or Xbox account permanently. All patches and major updates — Sakurajima, Feybreak Island, cross-platform play, and new content — arrive automatically.

Payment methods on Ashop

Ashop accepts only payment methods that work for Russian players in 2026. Foreign cards, overseas accounts, and VPN workarounds aren't needed.

Bank card (MIR, Visa, Mastercard)

MIR cards from Russian banks are accepted through standard processing. Visa and Mastercard from Russian banks work through the same channel. This is the most common option for buyers in Russia.

SBP — Fast Payment System

Pay by QR code or payment link through any banking app connected to SBP — Sber, T-Bank, Alfa-Bank, VTB, Raiffeisen, Gazprombank, and more. No separate card is needed, just a banking app.

Cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC, ETH)

If you have a crypto wallet, pay with USDT (TRC20 and ERC20 supported), Bitcoin, or Ethereum. A convenient option for buyers from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and other CIS countries without a MIR card.

Palworld activation safety

For every Palworld item in the Ashop catalog, your Steam or Xbox account password is never requested. Activation happens through a key or a Steam Gift, and neither one requires the operator to log into your account.

Steam Key — activated by the buyer

The Palworld Steam Key Global and Europe items are 16-digit keys. The operator sends them by email or message, and you enter them in the Steam client under "Activate a Product on Steam." The operator never asks for your login, password, or Steam Guard codes.

Steam Gift — an invitation gift

Items marked (Gift) — Palworld, Palworld + Craftopia, Palworld + Necesse, [ULTRAPALS] Palworld + ULTRAKILL, and the Palworld Game + Soundtrack Bundle — arrive as Steam gifts. The operator sends an invitation link to your Steam login or linked email, and you accept the gift yourself through the Steam interface without sharing a password.

Xbox Live Key — activation via the Microsoft Store

The Palworld (Xbox One, Windows 10) — Xbox Live Key Europe item is a 25-digit Microsoft code. Enter it under "Redeem code" in the Microsoft Store on a console or in the Xbox app on Windows. Your Microsoft account password is not requested either.

What Ashop never does

Ashop never asks for the bank card linked to your Steam or Xbox account, two-factor codes from third-party services, access to your email, or passwords for external accounts. If anyone asks for a one-time Steam Guard or Microsoft Authenticator code during a purchase, it's a social-engineering attempt. Don't share the code.

Steam Key, Steam Gift, or Xbox — what to choose

The catalog includes Steam keys, Steam gifts, and an Xbox Live key. Here's how to decide.

Who should choose Steam Key Global or Europe

If you play on PC through Steam, this is the simplest route. You get a 16-digit key, enter it on Steam, and play. Global keys work on accounts in any region. Europe keys require a Steam account set to a European region. If your Steam region is different, pick Global or Gift.

Who should choose Steam Gift

If your Steam region isn't European and you want guaranteed delivery, choose an item marked Gift. Palworld as a gift opens directly on your profile with no regional checks. Gift is also handy for giving the game to a friend — you can enter their Steam login.

Who should choose Xbox Live Key Europe

If you play on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, or through the Xbox app on Windows 10/11, this is your option. Palworld supports Microsoft Play Anywhere, so a single purchase works on both console and PC under one Microsoft account. Saves sync through Xbox Cloud, and cross-platform play is available since the 0.5.0 update.

Who should choose the bundles

If you're curious about other titles, look at Palworld + Craftopia (two Pocketpair games), Palworld + Necesse (a pixel-art sandbox RPG), or [ULTRAPALS] Palworld + ULTRAKILL (Palworld plus a fast-paced shooter). All arrive as Steam gifts. The Palworld Game + Soundtrack Bundle is for anyone who values the official OST.
