Nintendo edits key patent amid ongoing Palworld copyright lawsuit
Nintendo has updated the language of a key patent in its ongoing lawsuit against Palworld developer Pocketpair, adding complexity to the legal dispute over alleged copyright infringement related to Pokémon. Since September 2024, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have pursued legal action, claiming Palworld copies elements from the Pokémon franchise. Pocketpair has consistently argued that the patents cited in the case do not apply to its game. Recently, Nintendo submitted a request to the Japan Patent Office to modify the wording in one of these patents, which has now been approved and published, according to Games Fray. The patent in question covers 'smooth switching of riding objects,' including the transition between different rideable creatures, such as moving from flying mounts to land-based mounts within a game environment. The updated language adds detailed technical descriptions while retaining the original core claims, creating a more complex legal document for the case. Legal observers, including consultant Florian Mueller, commented that the choice of wording may be a deliberate attempt to broaden the patent's scope, making it more challenging for Pocketpair to argue for its invalidation in court. This development follows ongoing efforts from both parties to secure their positions, with Nintendo aiming to substantiate claims of copyright infringement and Pocketpair seeking to dismiss the case by questioning the validity of Nintendo's patents. As the Palworld lawsuit continues, the updated patent language may impact future proceedings, though it remains uncertain whether the changes will significantly alter the direction of the case between Nintendo and Pocketpair.

Why Lag-Free Hosting Matters In Palworld's Open-World Survival
Lag and Its Impact on Survival Gameplay Key Causes of Lag in Open-World Environments Choosing the Right Hardware and Network Setup Reliable Hosting Solutions Ongoing Maintenance and Performance Tuning The Role of Community Support and Updates Best Practices for Smooth Multiplayer Experiences In the diverse world of Palworld, every millisecond counts when exploring, battling, or taming creatures. Lag is more than a minor annoyance; it disrupts combat timing, causes missed opportunities, and can frustrate shared objectives. In open-world survival, unpredictable delays can easily mean the difference between thriving and losing valuable progress. Seamless connectivity supports fair competition and creates an immersive environment where quick reactions and teamwork matter. Investing in suitable Palworld Server Hosting is the simplest way to remove technology as a barrier, letting skill and strategy be the deciding factors in every adventure. High-performance servers ensure stable frame rates and minimal latency, even during large-scale battles or busy multiplayer sessions. With the right hosting setup, players can focus fully on exploring Palworld's rich environments and forming meaningful alliances without technical distractions. Key Causes of Lag in Open-World Environments Open-world games like Palworld challenge both hardware and network infrastructure. Frequent lag is often a combination of overloaded CPUs, insufficient RAM, slow hard drives, and especially internet connections that can't handle simultaneous data transfers for many players. PC Gamer's exploration of open-world game networking highlights that immense map sizes and complex AI demands require stable performance. Distance to the server, background processes, or heavy mod usage can amplify delays further. Every weak point in the chain can degrade the shared survival experience, making a stable foundation essential. Choosing the Right Hardware and Network Setup Selecting proper equipment greatly reduces performance issues before they start. A modern multi-core processor, at least 8GB of RAM, and a solid-state drive will keep game processes running smoothly. However, strong server specs can't compensate for limited internet speed or unstable connections. Upload bandwidth is vital in multiplayer titles, ensuring players sync actions and events in real time. Those looking to grow their community or run large public sessions may benefit from referring to GamesRadar's server performance optimization guide to choose hardware that scales with growing player needs. Reliable Hosting Solutions High-quality hosting makes all the difference in Palworld's open-world survival. Unlike hobby servers at home, professional hosts provide dedicated resources, powerful connections, and consistent uptime. The structure of dedicated hosting is designed to withstand heavy usage, unexpected traffic bursts, and technical hiccups that often crash household networks. Providers specializing in game servers also offer essential support—troubleshooting, monitoring, and rapid fixes—so players aren't stranded during key moments. Opting for a dedicated provider ensures a stable experience and builds trust within the gaming community. Ongoing Maintenance and Performance Tuning Even the best setup needs regular oversight to stay lag-free. Scheduled restarts, timely software updates, and consistent backups keep worlds secure and responsive. Proactive monitoring tools can alert admins to bottlenecks long before they disrupt players. Game updates often address security vulnerabilities and add new features that require maintenance, so a routine plan is crucial. Unused mods, excessive logs, and cluttered worlds should be pruned regularly to free up valuable resources. Maintenance is an investment in a server's longevity and reliability. The Role of Community Support and Updates No server operates in isolation. Community support—whether in forums, Discord channels, or via official documentation—offers practical fixes and advice for unusual performance hiccups. Real-time feedback from players helps spot invisible issues, giving admins a direct line to the experience of regular users. In fast-moving titles like Palworld, staying up to date with developer news and patch notes is equally critical. This ensures compatibility, optimizes resources, and keeps everyone enjoying the latest content together. Best Practices for Smooth Multiplayer Experiences Balance, clarity, and consistency are the cornerstones of great multiplayer sessions. Select hardware that can scale, prioritize security and stability, and never underestimate the value of quality hosting. Keep communication lines open for fast troubleshooting and lean on community knowledge for ongoing improvement. Ultimately, lag-free play creates the freedom to fully immerse in Palworld's vast open world, letting every survival story unfold without technical limits holding players back.

Palworld Players on PS5 Might Need to Delete Their Entire Save Files
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors In recent weeks, Palworld players on PS5 have been facing frustrating issues with their save files, with recent versions of the game giving errors and corrupted save files on Sony's console. Now, after developer Pocketpair has spent some time investigating the issue, it seems that for some players at least, the solution is to say goodbye to their beloved pals and wipe their save files. A player character rides a yellow Pal wielding a minigun in a screenshot for Palworld. A player character rides a yellow Pal wielding a minigun in a screenshot for Palworld. Pocketpair In a post on X (formerly Twitter), developer Pocketpair revealed it had identified the cause of the errors and corrupted save files on PS5, citing an issue with the PS5 backend that results from having too many save files. Players who had over 10 save data instances reportedly would see the game failing to save, which would sometimes corrupt the data. Pocketpair apologized for the error in the post, saying that it was "ultimately our fault" and that it would be implementing a fix on July 10, 2025, that limits the maximum amount of save data on PS5 to 10 instances. Players who currently have more than 10 instances of save data won't have any files automatically deleted, the developer says, and further improvements have been made to the save system to improve stability. [Important Notice Regarding the PS5 Data Issue] Thank you for your continued support of Palworld. We would like to inform our players about the cause and solution for the recent PS5 data loss issue. ■ The Bug As a result of our ongoing investigation, we have identified the… — Palworld (@Palworld_EN) July 9, 2025 Unfortunately, for some players who experienced certain errors – namely the CE-100022-5 and CE-100096-6 errors – there isn't a clear path out of the troubles. Pocketpair says players who encountered this error in the past are likely to experience it again in the future, even after tomorrow's patch, due to the corruption already inherent in their save files. The solution is a sad one for avid players: delete your entire save file, wiping progress and starting from scratch in the process. "We regret to inform these players that the only solution in this case will be to completely delete all your Palworld save data before playing," Pocketpair said in its post. "Please note that we do not collect and store save data on any platforms, so we cannot restore lost data. We deeply apologise for the inconvenience caused to our players." Some players in the replies have suggested that an affected PS5 player could join a friend's save file on a different platform and withdraw their Pals, then retrieve them after restarting the game to avoid losing their Pals, but there's no guarantee such a solution would work. It comes not long after Pocketpair announced that Palworld had surpassed 32 million players, with the game reaching the milestone earlier this year.

Remember ‘Palworld'? It's Survived Meme-Hood, Nintendo And Is Still Big
Palworld One of the most surprising days I've had in the last few years of game coverage was watching Palworld absolutely blow up at launch, a game that came out of relative nowhere, combining survival aspects with Pokémon-like catching and battling. There were also guns. You could shoot the Pokémon with guns. It wasn't just a surprise hit; it was perhaps one of the most surprising rocketships in the last decade of the industry, rocketing to 2.1 million concurrent players on Steam close to launch as scores of big streamers logged on and millions of players tried it out, and liked it. Though you may think Palworld was a shooting star, the game has had a longer lifespan than you might imagine and has outlasted many other fad games that have come and gone. It's not a live service, as developer Pocketpair repeatedly points out, but it does release major updates, and those result in significant player surges. Right now, for example, the game has an 85,000 concurrent peak a year and a half after launch and is inside Steam's top 15 games, which is almost entirely full of classic titles that rarely leave these spots, from CS2 to Dota 2 to Apex Legends to GTA V. Palworld FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Of course, Palworld is never going to get millions of concurrents again, but this baseline this far after launch of nearly 100,000 players remains impressive. While it felt like a meme, the playerbase has persisted. Its big updates spike its players anywhere from 140,000 to 212,000 this past December. Palworld has also engendered a lot of sympathy over the last year or so as they have been relentlessly targeted by lawsuits from Nintendo. Back at launch, there was an idea that Nintendo may sue for similar character designs, as there certainly were some similarities. But what's ended up happening is that Nintendo has made a bunch of game mechanic claims that have actually forced Palworld to remove aspects of its gameplay, everything from gliding on Pals to summoning them with balls. These are things Nintendo apparently exclusively owns, and in order to avoid protracted legal fights with the gaming giant, Palworld has to keep bending the knee and changing the game in awkward ways. Nintendo has not come out of this with the public on its side, with accusations that it's being a patent troll with these kinds of somewhat generic mechanics somehow in its pocket. Palworld Admittedly, I have not kept up with Palworld for a while now, but closer to launch, I easily sunk a few hundred hours into it, and I understood the appeal. In many ways, it felt like the kind of Pokémon game that Nintendo should have made half a decade ago, but never did. And still hasn't. Palworld's appeal is that it can operate as a survival game, a gotta-catch-em-all adventure, or in some ways, it's even a bit Breath of the Wild. And it not being 'live' means you're never really all that far behind and can jump back in whenever. And it's very clear that some people never left.
