Which presentation revealed Palworld's January 2024 early-access launch window?

Summer Game Fest revealed Palworld’s January 2024 Early Access launch window. During the 2023 presentation, Pocketpair showed a new trailer and confirmed that players would be able to try the game in Early Access in January 2024.

The announcement transformed Palworld from a much-discussed upcoming project into a game with a near-term release window. It also clarified that the launch would cover PC and Xbox platforms, helping explain why the game was being discussed beyond the traditional PC audience.

A common mix-up is to treat the January 19, 2024 release date as the date revealed at Summer Game Fest. The presentation announced the month and year; Pocketpair later specified January 19 as the launch date. Tokyo Game Show is associated instead with the announcement of Xbox console versions.

Palworld launched through Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview. Its arrival produced extraordinary early sales and player numbers, but the game remained an unfinished, actively developed project rather than a conventional version 1.0 release.
