Palia is now available on Steam, giving gamers a new cozy game to check out. There has been a recent influx of cozy games, becoming seemingly more popular in the current generation than any other. This newer addition, Palia, has been accessible elsewhere in the form of an open beta for some time. The community-sim MMO allows players to build a life and make friends in a vibrant fantasy world that features elements of crafting, decoration, and even romance.
After the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the continued success of cozy games, more developers appear to have noticed that there is a large audience for these low-stakes adventures and that players enjoy coming back to see updates. Stardew Valley just released the massively popular Update 1.6, which has players returning to see everything that is different. Palia offers an alternate take on this model.
Palia has launched on Steam. While the game was previously accessible on Switch and Windows in an open beta form, the game has received new updates and fixes, and its Temple of The Roots update promises plenty of new content along with its Steam availability, all free to play. A whole new ecosystem of players who may have an interest in the cozy vibe of Palia now has the chance to try it out. Players who jump into Palia now have 30 days to redeem a giant in-game Frogbert plushie. The update comes with additional quests, rewards, decor, and more. Fans of collecting stylish clothing in Palia will be excited about the new "To Have, To Honor, and To Love" outfits collection, which showcases players' romances with in-game partners.
Palia Update Celebrates Steam Launch
Close
Players have been looking forward to a successful Steam launch for Palia for some time, and with the steady flow of activities, players who want to catch up and find something unique to do will find no shortage of quests. Palia includes a medallion collection and egg hunts, but players more interested in the relaxation aspect of this game can just take their time fishing.
It is not exactly clear whether this release marks Palia's full release or if the game is still considered to be in some form of beta or early access. However, the game is stable across all platforms, encouraging the use of crossplay and cross-progression features, so players should be able to reliably start playing on one device and pick up where they left off on another. There are plenty of tips for beginner Palia players that will help them outpace the game's steep learning curve.
