Bring the Mac version to Steam pls.
Palworld is still available on the Mac App Store but not on Steam. If this is not an exclusive deal with Apple, please bring it to Steam.

As a Mac gamer who uses Steam exclusively for games, I agree.

I can be completely mistaken here, but i think i remember a post of someone claiming it was Apple choice, not the developer choice, or something like that
I very much wish for this as well. I've been waiting forever to play this game, and seeing how I only use Steam, seeing it just on the App store is very painful. Please bring it to Steam!

It's literally their game... Apple can't control what they do lol.

Not only that, I couldn't find any history of Apple preventing any App Store apps from being published elsewhere.

No no i was surprised too but apparently Apple pretends to approve everything that is build/coded to work on their machines, at least, this was something that has been discussed on Baldur's Gate 3 forums for a while, since Mac did not receive an update and there was people telling that Apple decided to not allow new updated on the game for the Mac.

Unless, it was all fake and i eat the bait, but looked like a legit post.
Up :steamthis:

We already payed once for palworld, having to pay again for the MacOS Version via AppStore would be cringe.

Any update from the devs or steam-staff about release plans of Palworld MacOS on Steam would be highly appreciated. :smilechillet:
Aaaand thats why i will never ever buy an Apple device.
Very likely going to happen eventually. Give it time.
Fingers crossed it does come to Steam.

No disrespect to Pocketpair, but I don't want to support the App Store. It's a walled garden holding back Mac gaming because Apple still has Candy Crush on the brain.

The fact Palworld launched without crossplay with Windows users killed my faith in that place as a viable ecosystem for video games. And yes, crossplay was added today, but my issue is with the precedent this sets for other devs.

If a Mac port multiplayer game comes to Mac without crossplay, there's no guarantee that's going to be patched. Capcom could bring over the Monster Hunter games on the App Store (Worlds and Rise specifically) and very well decide crossplay is not worth implementing.

Whereas on Steam, being able to play with your friends, regardless of platform, is practically a safe guarantee.
Been waiting for this for some time now.
I'm really annoyed as it really just feels like a money grab, plus apple has been pushing hard for games to be brought to Macos but Pocketpair is playing apples game of only allowing it through the app store especially when steam is available on MacOs. I absolutely refuse to purchase a second copy of Palworld when I already own it on Steam. The other appalling thing is when Pocketpair has been asked about it they refuse to answer and just ignore it, no reason or explanation, it's just appalling.
I hope that they bring it to Steam as well, been waiting for it ever since it first came on the App store. So +1 from me!
Very weird that Steam the steam version does not support macOS. I agree it would be really cool to be able to play there.
