Your Pals' levels can't exceed your own, so staying at a low level for too long hinders your entire party. And you get a handful of Technology Points when you level up, which you need to unlock new structures for your base and items that augment your Pals' capabilities. Throwing yourself into raids or battling high-level enemies isn't the way to go, though. In this guide, we'll explain the best way to farm XP in Palworld and break down how it works.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformStalker 2’s First Major Expansion Arrives Very Soon
Stalker 2 has been out for nearly two years, and if you've been itching to jump back into the post-apocalyptic hellscape, you'll have a great reason to do so. The game's first expansion, Stalker 2: Cost of Hope, releases in just a few weeks across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Cost of Hope puts you back in control of Stalker 2 protagonist Skif, with the character following a "mysterious PDA signal" as the dangerous Zone's Duty and Freedom factions come into conflict. GSC Game World promises "dozens of hours of content" along with new allies and enemies, weapons, and locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5BwA-OUyNY The expansion will launch alongside the base game's Update 2.0, which will include "a new version of Unreal Engine 5" alongside "a variety of new content and improvements." Unlike the expansion itself, this update will be free. Stalker 2: Cost of Hope arrives on August 20. You can watch the release-date trailer above. The game originally launched on PC before coming to Xbox Series X|S and later to PS5. In our Stalker 2 review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl-review-in-the-zone/1900-6418320/), Richard Wakeling said, "It doesn't reinvent the wheel, and at times it feels like you're playing a game straight out of 2010, but that's part of the charm and feeds into what makes Stalker 2 the quintessential Stalker experience."
🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformGod Of War Laufey Releases In February
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/02/0ee3d88b/god-of-war-laufey-2.jpg.webp) On Friday, Sony Santa Monica Studios revealed that the upcoming God of War Laufey is coming sooner than expected. The game arrives February 16, 2027. > 2.16.27 pic.twitter.com/RQZov8MqGx(https://t.co/RQZov8MqGx) > > — Santa Monica Studio – God of War Laufey (@SonySantaMonica) July 25, 2026(https://x.com/SonySantaMonica/status/2080831512820519253?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) God of War Laufey was revealed during PlayStation's Summer State of Play event, where Santa Monica Studios shared roughly 23 minutes of the game(https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/06/02/god-of-war-laufey-stars-kratos-wife-fighting-through-the-afterlife-of-the). The adventure follows Kratos' wife and Atreus' mother, Laufey (or Faye), after her death and arrival in the afterlife of the gods, known as the Everywhen, according to Laufey's talking gelatinous cube and sword ribbon partners. The concept is novel for God of War and seems to take place during the events of God of War (2018), but considering the world is called the Everywhen, it's hard to say exactly when the game takes place on the God of War timeline. God of War Laufey releases February 16, 2027, on PlayStation 5.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformSurprise: God Of War Laufey Has A Release Date, And Its Kratos-Led Sequel Has Been Announced
The God of War Laufey release date has been announced and, much like we anticipated, you won't have to wait too long before you can play Faye's story. At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, Sony Santa Monica Studios officially announced that the God of War Laufey release date will be 16 February, 2027. https://twitter.com/SonySantaMonica/status/2080831512820519253 Game director Cory Barlog also announced that the game will ship with physical discs. That announcement comes just weeks after Sony announced that it would be halting the production of physical discs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-confirms-playstation-disc-production-will-end-in-2028/) entirely from 2028. The release date announcement wasn't the only surprise, as Barlog also confirmed that the next God of War game will put players back in the boots of Kratos. According to IGN(https://www.ign.com/articles/next-kratos-led-god-of-war-game-is-coming-after-laufey-and-connects-directly-to-her-story-comic-con-2026), he said, "Everything we are doing in the Faye game is a continuation of what came before and to set up and expand what comes next. Phranque has been around since the beginning. It's interesting to see how to build this world out. Everything in the game is setting up for something so amazing." While there are many theories about what, or who, Phranque could be(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-laufeys-phranque-is-far-from-just-a-cube/), it sounds like we'll have plenty of time to get familiar with him throughout the future of God of War. God of War Laufey was originally revealed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-god-of-war-game-revealed-at-state-of-play/) with 20 minutes of gameplay during a Sony State of Play broadcast in June 2026. The game looked pretty polished then, so it's unsurprising that its release date is just seven short months away. It also means that February 2027 is looking pretty stacked now, with God of War Laufey, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, Fable, and Metro 2039 all slated to release within two weeks of one another.

🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformResident Evil Movie Trailer On PlayStation’s YouTube Page Is Full Of People Asking Sony To Change Course On Discs
The newest trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil movie from Weapons director Zach Cregger has arrived(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-why-the-new-resident-evil-movie-has-snow-and-smartphones/), and the version of the trailer posted on the PlayStation YouTube page is full of jokes and references to Sony's controversial decision to end support for physical game discs in 2028. The movie, which hails from Sony Pictures, doesn't have a heck of a lot to do with the PlayStation brand outside of the Sony connection, but since it was posted on PlayStation's YouTube page, people took the opportunity, and creatively, to boot, to voice their displeasure about the discs situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7SwoJsSb7w&rco=1 The video has nearly 2,000 comments at press time. Some of the top-ranked comments read, "He's transporting the last physical game copy in existence" and "I cannot wait to get the physical version of this." Other top comments say, "Luckily, there was an old typewriter upstairs, and he was able to save" and "Leon... where are the physical discs?" Another comment reads, "I love using my PlayStation 5 as a Blu-ray player," while another states, "This movie looks like it's going to get physical." Sony's decision to end support for physical PlayStation game discs might make business sense(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstations-disc-based-game-sales-have-dropped-dramatically-in-recent-years/), but it's not sitting well with fans. Hundreds of thousands of people(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/over-220000-people-petition-sony-not-to-kill-physical-playstation-game-discs/) have signed a petition calling on Sony to change course, but experts believe Sony will no go back on its decision. While Sony itself will stop supporting game discs in 2028, other companies are getting started sooner. Rockstar Games, for example, is charging $80 for GTA 6 and not releasing it on a disc(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-not-releasing-with-a-disc-and-that-just-makes-sense-in-2026/). There will be physical boxes of the game sold at retail, but they only include a code, not a game disc. Even that code may not be worth anything forever, as people in Japan need to redeem it within 170 days(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-is-the-first-game-ive-seen-with-a-best-before-date/). As for the Resident Evil movie, the film arrives in theaters on September 18. It's coming to market behind a lot of hype, considering Cregger's last two movies, Barbarian and Weapons, were big hits.
