GBR Hosting
Palworld server hosting, on your own PC
Install the GBR app, pick Palworld, share the address. Steam and Xbox friends can join, even if you’re on Starlink or 5G.
What your PC needs
Friends join from anywhere
The relay gives your server a public address. No port forwarding, and your home IP stays private.
Settings without config files
EXP rate, capture rate, death penalty, PvP and every other Palworld option, with plain labels and undo.
Backups off your PC
If your PC dies, your world doesn’t. Restore in one click.
Tune your world in the panel
All 52 Palworld settings have plain labels. Made a change you regret? Roll back to an earlier version.
Questions
Can Xbox players join?
Yes. Steam and Xbox crossplay is on by default.
Does my PC have to stay on?
Yes, while people play. If that’s a problem, run the server in the GBR cloud instead.
How do I become admin in-game?
Type /AdminPassword followed by your admin password in the in-game chat.

Joining and crossplay
Steam and Xbox players can join the same server. The Crossplay Platforms setting controls which platforms are allowed.
What ports does a Palworld server use?
8211 UDP. When several servers share one machine, or when the GBR relay is on, the public port can differ; the panel shows the exact address and port players should use.
How much RAM does a Palworld server need?
GBR's Palworld template reserves at least 8 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk. More players, bigger worlds and mods need more.
Can I run a Palworld server on my own PC?
Yes. Install the GBR app on your own Windows, macOS or Linux machine and deploy Palworld to it from the same panel. You can also run it in the GBR cloud. With the GBR relay, friends can join even if your internet uses CGNAT.
Are my Palworld saves backed up?
Yes. Backups cover Pal/Saved/SaveGames, Pal/Saved/Config/LinuxServer, Pal/Saved/Config/WindowsServer and are stored off the server in object storage. Schedule them daily, weekly, monthly or on an interval, take one by hand before big changes, and lock the ones you want to keep.
Which Palworld settings can I change?
All 52 settings listed on this page, in a visual editor. GBR keeps a history of recent changes so you can roll back.
