Palworld - Setting up a dedicated Server

Setting up a server via SteamCMD

Setting up the server via SteamCMD

SteamCMD

  1. Download SteamCMD
  2. Run the following command to download the files: steamcmd +login anonymous +app_update 2394010 validate +quit
  3. Run the server by using PalServer.exe
    • For linux run ./PalServer.sh

Running the server once will generate all the config files automatically for you to modify.

If you'd rather not self-host, or you want a more detailed walkthrough, see our Palworld getting started guide.
