How to Connect to a Palworld Server

Your Palworld server has its own address (an IP and port) shown in your Supercraft panel. Palworld supports cross-platform play between Steam, Xbox / Game Pass PC, and PlayStation 5, but the way each platform joins a server is different. Steam players have the most flexibility (direct connect or community list); Xbox and PS5 players can only join via the in-game community server list. Steps for each platform are below.

Method 1: Direct Connect on Steam

The fastest way for a Steam player to join your server.

1. Launch Palworld and choose Multiplayer › Join Multiplayer Game (Dedicated Server).
2. At the bottom of the server browser, find the IP entry field.
3. Enter the IP and port from your Supercraft panel exactly as shown (for example, w1.supercraft.host:8211) and click Connect.
4. If the server has a password, you’ll be prompted to enter it. Use the password shown as Server password in your panel.

Method 2: Community Server List (Steam, Xbox, PS5)

This is the only join path for Xbox / Game Pass PC and PS5 players. Make sure your server’s PublicServer setting is enabled (it is by default on Supercraft).

1. Launch Palworld and choose Multiplayer › Join Multiplayer Game (Dedicated Server).
2. Use the search bar at the top to find your server by name.
3. The community list can take a few minutes to refresh after a fresh server boot — retry if your server isn’t there yet.
4. Click Connect, enter the server password if prompted, and join.

Method 3: Add to Steam Favorites (optional)

Useful for Steam players who want the server to appear in the Steam Game Servers window, separate from the in-game browser.

1. Open Steam › View › Game Servers.
2. Switch to the Favorites tab and click the + (Add Server) button.
3. Enter the IP and port from your Supercraft panel, click OK.

Troubleshooting

• “Connection failed” right after purchase: A fresh Palworld server takes 2-4 minutes to finish booting and register with the community list. Wait, then retry. Direct Connect (Method 1) usually works sooner than the community list (Method 2).
• Server doesn’t appear in the community list: Direct Connect bypasses the list and is unaffected by community-list lag. If Xbox or PS5 players need to join and your server isn’t listed, check that PublicServer is enabled in your panel’s server config. Restart the server after toggling.
• Crossplay friends can’t find the server: Make sure crossplay is enabled in your panel’s server config. Different platforms search the same community list, but the server must explicitly opt in.
• Wrong password / kicked back to menu: Palworld has both a server password and an admin password. Use the one shown as Server password in your panel for joining. The admin password is for in-game admin commands.
• “This server is full”: Check the Players tab in your panel for the live count. Your plan’s max-player setting is enforced server-side.
• Server is up but unreachable: Check the Logs tab in your panel. If the server is restart-looping or you see LogEOS: Error lines, the AI Server Doctor under the panel’s diagnostics will name the cause.
