Here's what we know about the \"failed to host multiplayer session\" error in\u00a0Palworld. What is the \"failed to host multiplayer session\" error in Palworld? Palworld's\u00a0\"failed to host multiplayer session\" error\u00a0likely has to do with\u00a0the game's servers being overloaded with players. It's a widespread error on the hugely successful launch day for\u00a0Palworld\u00a0on both Xbox and PC. Fixing the \"failed to host multiplayer session\" error in Palworld, explained There's\u00a0no real fix for the issue\u00a0other than waiting for the overloaded servers to stabilize or for the developer to put out a patch. But players can try to repeat the process of connecting repeatedly, as some have found success making their way into the servers after a few tries. With\u00a0so many players trying to play the game, it's no surprise there have been some hiccups for those trying to group up and catch Pals with friends. On launch day, over 350,000 players are playing the game on Steam, with even more accessing the servers on Xbox and PC via Game Pass, so the servers are being stressed to the point where errors are coming up, and players can't host multiplayer lobbies. \"Currently, our server provider is reporting that due to a large number of concurrent players, the servers have become unstable, and you may be experiencing issues connecting to servers,\" the game's developers\u00a0said. \"We are working to resolve this ASAP! In the meantime, some users have reported success in attempting to connect 2-3 times or waiting after launching the game.\" How to check Palworld server status There is a dedicated page that shows the current\u00a0server status\u00a0of\u00a0Palworld\u00a0that you can continue checking to see when and if the issues have stabilized. On launch morning, the page says there are issues connecting. \"The system capacity of the external vendor appears to be exceeded,\" the page said as of 10:25 am CT on Jan. 19. \"We are currently investigating the details.\" Check the page and this article for more details and updates on when the game's errors are subsiding. So, there you have it. You know everything you need about Palworld's 'failed to host multiplayer session' error.
