Nvidia’s DLSS is available for Palworld, and enabling it will help improve your survival crafting and monster-catching gameplay experience. And while it does offer improved performance to fully enjoy a world full of mysterious Pals, it may not be accessible for some players, leaving the option grayed out in the settings for most players in the game.

Since at the time of writing only Steam players have access to DLSS and can enable it in-game, Xbox Game Pass players will be better off waiting until it becomes available to them. In this guide, we’ll explain everything about Palworld DLSS, from how to enable it to why it’s greyed out in settings.

If you’re wondering why the Palworld DLSS option is greyed out in your settings, it simply has something to do with your game version. As mentioned, the DLSS option is only available for Steam players and not Xbox Game Pass. The reason is that the Xbox Game Pass version is older than Steam’s. So if you’re playing Palworld via Game Pass, you won’t have access to the option.

That said, you will need a Geforce RTX graphics card to make DLSS fully available to you. On the official Palworld Discord server, one of the community managers indicated that the reason behind the mixup between the Steam and Xbox versions is that the updates have to go through the Microsoft Certification Queue. The developers have indicated that it may take some time before you see the same versions on both platforms.
