3. Link an Account Instead of Skipping the Process
Some players may be tempted to skip the linking process, especially if they’re not sure about cross-platform play or prefer playing on a single platform. However, skipping the linking step will limit your ability to play with friends on different platforms and may result in your game progress being tied only to the device you're using.
If you didn’t link your account when you first started playing, don’t worry! Here’s how to link your account afterward:
-
Open the Game
Launch Palia on the platform you're currently playing. - Log in using your account credentials
- Start playing!
Disclaimer: Once you have linked your account, you will not be able to log out from Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Steam, and Xbox Series X|S. To unlink an existing account, please reach out to Player Support.
4. Start Enjoying Cross-Platform Play
Once your account is linked, you’re all set to enjoy cross-platform play with friends! No matter if you’re playing on PC or a console, you’ll be able to join your friends in the world of Palia. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Friends List: You can now invite friends to your game, even if they’re playing on a different platform and receive rewards for referring a friend.
-
Game Progress: Your game progress will be saved to your linked account, so you can pick up right where you left off, no matter what device you’re using.

Cross-Play Compatibility: The game’s matchmaking and in-game features are designed to work seamlessly, so you won’t notice any major differences between platforms.
Now that you know how to sign up, upgrade your account, and link it for cross-platform play, you're ready to enjoy Palia with friends, no matter what device they’re playing on. It’s all about having fun together, and this feature ensures that everyone can join in on the adventure.
