A modder has released many “Palworld” PC tweaks that improve the game's visuals and enable FSR2/XeSS upscaling.
These Palworld PC Mods Add FSR2/XeSS Upscaling and Improve Visuals
Pocketpair's popular game does not yet officially enable mods, but as we reported earlier this week, modders have already made various modifications for it, including the now-defunct Pokémon mod.
Modder “Hybred” has created various visual tweaks for the game, which improve “Palword's” vanilla graphics, improve anti-aliasing, and add support for AMD's FSR and Intel's XeSS upscaling technologies. For those unfamiliar, Palworld presently only supports NVIDIA DLSS.
As noted, the new "improved graphics" update for “Palworld” improves the title graphics for both high-end and low-end settings by enabling Lumen, strengthening post-processing effects, increasing view distance, and improving the ambient occlusion algorithm. You may download this mod here.
The modder's "Improved Anti-aliasing" mod improves the game's anti-aliasing (TSR, TAA, DLSS, and FXAA), increases visual stability, and lowers blur. Those interested can get the mod here.
Last but not least, the FSR2/XeSS upscaling hack adds support for FSR2 and Xess 1.2 via DLSS. According to the mod's designer, this mod "improves the upscaling quality using a custom config so no matter what you select, you'll get better upscaling than other mods currently provide." The “Palworld” FSR2/XeSS upscaling mod is available for download here.
Palworld's New Mod Enables Ray Tracing And Improves Ambient Occlusion And Shadow Quality
A new “Palworld” mod enables several ray tracing features and enhances ambient occlusion and shadow quality, among other things.
The RTX Ray Tracing and DirectX12 For Your Pals mod, available from Nexus Mods, is a modified configuration file that enables some ray tracing functions, changes the rendering API to DirectX 12, and improves visuals by increasing native rendering from 100% to 120%, removing fog, increasing the quality of PostFX effects, increasing Anisotropic Filtering to x16, and other features.
Enabling ray tracing capabilities and some of the modifications significantly influence performance, so only attempt them if you have a strong GPU.
“Palworld” is currently accessible in early access via Steam and Game Pass worldwide. Since its release last week, Pocketpair's “Pokemon with Guns” game has sold more than 8 million copies through Steam alone. In addition, the title broke the two million concurrent gamers milestone on Steam.
The Pokémon Company addressed the game, stating that they will look into suspected copyright infringement, although they are unlikely to be able to do much more than remove Pokémon-inspired tweaks.
“Palworld” is now available for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S globally. The game is also included in the Xbox Game Pass collection.
