Palworld moves from video games to a physical card game
Palworld Official Card Game launched worldwide on July 30, 2026. According to information published by Bushiroad, the product turns the Palworld universe into a competitive tabletop card game for two players. Bushiroad announced the project, while Palworld developer Pocketpair separately confirmed the collaboration on its official website. The launch line is built around the first booster set, “Dawn of Palpagos,” and two trial decks designed to provide ready-to-play starting points.
Pals, resources and bases shape the game
The official description says two players compete by deploying Pals with different characteristics. Matches are not based only on character cards: collecting resources and building bases are also part of the game’s structure. Bushiroad presents these systems as a physical card-game adaptation of central ideas from the Palworld video game. The different characteristics assigned to each Pal are intended to support multiple deck-building choices and tactical approaches during a match.
Dawn of Palpagos and two trial decks
The first booster set, “Dawn of Palpagos,” includes more than 50 Pals with original illustrations created for the card game, according to the official July announcement. Two trial decks launched on the same day, using the Red–Blue and Green–Purple colour combinations. Bushiroad’s May product update describes Red–Blue as the more direct, overpowering option and Green–Purple as the choice for players who prefer additional planning. The same official update says a deck may use a maximum of two colours.
Bushiroad reported 3.5 million packs sold
On July 9, Bushiroad said the first booster release had reached 3.5 million pack sales worldwide. The company published that figure before the July 30 general launch. The total may therefore include activity connected with retail distribution or advance orders, but the official release does not provide a detailed breakdown. This report uses the company’s wording—worldwide pack sales—without treating it as a more specific measure of purchases by individual players.
The Bushiroad and Pocketpair partnership
Pocketpair’s January 12 announcement confirms that the card game is an official Palworld product announced by Bushiroad. Reports from The Verge and GameSpot also identify the July 30 launch date, the two-player format, and the use of Pals alongside resource collection and base-building mechanics. The developer, publisher, date and central gameplay description are therefore consistent across primary material and independent coverage.
Expanding Palworld beyond the digital game
The card game represents a major physical extension of the Palworld brand beyond its original video game. Official sources describe it as a separate competitive product using familiar characters and resource-management ideas, rather than a direct copy of the digital game. Trial decks allow a player to begin with a prepared configuration, while booster packs are intended to add different cards and expand possible deck combinations.
What has been verified
The July 30 date was checked against Pocketpair and the Palworld Official Card Game website. Product structure, colour options and trial-deck positioning come from Bushiroad’s official updates. The 3.5 million figure is reported only within the limits of the company’s July 9 statement. Regional stock levels, Turkish retailers, local prices and tournament dates were excluded because the reviewed sources do not provide one complete, verified worldwide list for those details.
