US Edition‘Palworld’ Deleting Pal Gliding Due To Nintendo Patent Lawsuit
- Palworld developer Pocketpair released Patch v0.5.5 on May 8, 2025, removing the ability to glide using Pals across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
- This change follows a patent lawsuit filed by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company last year, alleging Palworld infringes multiple patent rights related to game mechanics.
- Previously, players could summon Pals with Pal Spheres and glide by hanging from flying Pals, but Pocketpair removed these features due to ongoing legal pressure and compromises.
- Pocketpair has expressed ongoing disagreement with the allegations and maintains that the patents involved are not valid, while also apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the legal proceedings.
- The company continues to focus on advancing Palworld and providing fresh content, while implementing necessary adjustments to ensure the game's development and release proceed smoothly.
