Palworld update 0.6.6 patch notes: Buffs for Herbil Pulse and Excalibur

A new update for Palworld has been available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on September 17, 2025, delivering some balance adjustments and a list of bugfixes.

Pocketpair has implemented a warning that will be displayed when users are playing with world settings that are too high for their current system, which should help players find better settings and ultimately gain performance. In terms of balance changes, the developers have buffed the Herbil Pulse ability, which now grants a short window of invincibility after resurrecting the player. Excalibur’s shockwave has been bolstered as well, expanding its hit detection.
