One of the coolest parts of Palworld is the leveling system. You can level up to capture and train more Pals for your adventure. However, almost every leveling system has a maximum number. We’ll go over the max level and how it works below.
For more on Palworld, check out our guides on using single-player Palworld characters in multiplayer and if the game is coming to Nintendo Switch.
The Palworld Max Level Cap
The max level cap in Palworld is level 50 for both you and your Pals. This is the Early Access max level and will likely be raised in the full release. This means that as you play the game, defeating creatures, crafting gear, and completing objectives, your level will climb until you reach this limit.
This does not mean you don’t get to play anymore; this just means this is the highest you can rise.
Will Palworld Get A Bigger Level Cap?
Palworld will likely get a much bigger level cap once it releases its full version. Some rumors suggest a doubling to 100, offering players more room for growth and progression. However, developer Pocket Pair has not officially confirmed this change, so we can only confirm the leveling system up to level 50.
Games normally increase their level cap over time; the Call of Duty Modern Warfare series is a great example of this. New seasons normally bring new levels, and Palworld is a game that will receive a significant upgrade when going to full release. So we expect a large level cap in the future.
What Is Palworld Level Sync?
Palworld features a clever system called Level Sync to prevent frustration and ensure balanced gameplay. Essentially, if you equip a Pal with a level higher than yours, their stats will automatically adjust downwards to match yours. This prevents high-level Pals from carrying you through the early game, promoting a sense of challenge and encouraging gradual progression alongside your companions.
While unlikely, it is possible to capture Pals that are way too strong to be yours. This would leave players with easy strategies to be overpowered. This is a big issue for anyone trying to play fairly and also a way to make the game too easy in guides. This keeps anyone from reaching the max level before they’re supposed to.
