What is Palworld’s max level?
Palworld’s current cap is set to level 50. During the early access window, players can only grind up to level 50 before their progression hits a brick wall.
This level 50 cap applies to both your character and the Pals you can catch. So, at least for now, you won’t see any players or Pals out in the wild above level 50.
As Palworld’s early access is still relatively fresh, there’s always a chance things change in the near future. By the time the full game launches, the level cap could be a great deal higher than level 50.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted here should any changes to Palworld’s level cap arise in the coming weeks.

Best way to level up fast in Palworld
Catching Pals is the easiest and most efficient way to level up quickly in Palworld. It may sound simple, but in a game about catching Pals, it’s the best way to level your character up as fast as possible.
Better yet, catching multiple of the same Pal type will only help speed things up. A Capture Bonus is up for grabs with each Pal type, giving you a surplus of experience for collecting 10 of the same Pal. Focusing on these early on will give you the fastest track to a higher level.
Beyond that, it’s simply a matter of playing the game. By venturing out into the wild, taking down foes, destroying bases, and the like, you’ll be amassing tons of experience in no time.
Palworld Level Sync explained
Level Sync is a system in Palworld that looks to align the levels of Pals you capture with your character’s level. For example, if a level 10 character catches a level 20 Pal, Level Sync will automatically scale back its power.
So while you can still catch much higher-level Pals on your travels, don’t expect them to help you blitz through any and all opposition right away. Level Sync is in effect to keep things balanced across the board.
Max base level in Palworld
While your character and your Pals can reach level 50, bases can only reach the max level of 15. Establishing a base is vital in Palworld, and by upgrading its facilities, size, and more, you can expand it all the way up to a level 15 base.
Once you hit the cap of base level 15, you’ll then be able to craft brand-new items and even a handful of extra bases to boot.
