Palworld was recently launched in Early Acess but has already collected great numbers, with millions of players trying this new Pokémon-style game. Despite the success, however, there are some errors that are creating problems for some players.
One of them is the Palworld “sorry you are currently prevented” error. In this article, therefore, we will explain what it is and how to solve it. This way, you will no longer have to worry about not being able to hunt Pals and explore the vast game world anymore!
What is the Palworld “Sorry you are currently prevented” error
The Palworld “sorry you are currently prevented” error is an issue that is affecting some Xbox users (on PC, it seems to be much rarer) when trying to play a game online. Although the situation may seem serious and, at least initially, frustrating, it is an easily solvable issue.
In fact, this error occurs when there is an update. What does it do specifically? It doesn’t allow you to load your saves, but only to create new worlds. It’s definitely not a pleasant thing, especially if you have spent hours and hours in your world. But don’t worry; we will tell you everything you need to do in this article.
How to fix the Palworld “sorry you are currently prevented” error on Xbox
Now that you know when you might encounter this problem and what happens, it’s time to know how to fix it. As we have already said, fortunately, it is nothing complicated. Let’s see together how to solve it on Xbox.
- Go to your Xbox dashboard
- Quit the game
- Open the updates section (My Games and Apps)
- Download the update
Once you have downloaded the update, you can launch the game again, and the problem should be resolved. If this is not the case, some users have reported that changing the location of your Xbox can, in some way, solve the problem.
If not even changing the location of your Xbox solves the problem, it means that there is a problem on the server side, and therefore you can’t do anything but wait for the developers themselves to intervene to solve the problem.

If, however, you are a PC user and are having this problem, you will have to follow a slightly longer procedure. However, don’t worry: longer doesn’t necessarily mean more complex. In fact, even in this case, it will not be anything complicated. Let’s see together the steps you need to follow.
- Restart your router
- Settings > Downloads > Clear Download cache
- Close Steam and relaunch it
- Find the game > Settings > Installed Files
- Select Verify integrity of game files
- Launch the game as an administrator
By following these steps, the problem should be resolved and you should not have any kind of problem regarding it. If not, it is a server-side problem, and therefore you will have to wait for the development team to intervene to fix it.
