Palworld v0.1.5.0 Patch Breakdown: Keyboard Rebinds, Pal Fixes, and Tougher Police

Pocket Pair keeps polishing its monster-taming survival hit, and Palworld v0.1.5.0 is the latest round of housekeeping. No fresh content this time, but a long list of fixes, quality-of-life tweaks, and a few balance changes that should make life on the island smoother for both casual tamers and dedicated server admins.

What Palworld v0.1.5.0 Actually Changes

If you were waiting for new biomes, Pals, or bosses, this is not that patch. Update v0.1.5.0 on Steam and Xbox is a maintenance drop focused on stability, control options, and behavior tweaks. The headline additions are full keyboard remapping, save data backups, and a meaner police response when you decide to punch a merchant.

Full Keyboard Remapping

Keybinds are finally fully customizable. Every in-game keyboard command can be rebound, which is a big deal for left-handed players, southpaw mouse users, and anyone who prefers their own muscle memory over Pocket Pair's defaults.

Save Data Backups

A backup option now lives directly on the world selection screen. The patch also addresses an issue where save files were bloating with unnecessary data, so loading times and storage usage should both drop for long-running worlds.

Aggressive Pals Without Babysitting

Previously, ordering a Pal to attack aggressively still required you to start the fight. Now your Pal will engage enemies on its own, even if you are nowhere near combat. Handy for AFK farming runs, like grinding Honey from a few unlucky Cinnamoth.

Bigger Police Response

Attacking friendly NPCs is no longer a slap on the wrist. The Pal Police Force shows up in much larger numbers, so think twice before mugging a traveling merchant. One exception: the Black Marketeer is on his own. The cops will not save him.

If you run a dedicated server, the lobby rework and online player visibility are reason enough to update tonight.
