Let’s not run round in circles and waste your time. Rather, let’s cut straight to the point. In the vast majority of cases, this message appears when there is a new update for Palworld. If there is a new version of the game, your Palworld client will not be able to connect to the multiplayer server because there is a mismatch between the version of the game installed on your device and the latest version of the game (the one on the server). Hence, the easy solution to fix the “Sorry You’re Currently Prevented From Playing Online Multiplayer Games” error in Palworld is to simply update your game to the latest version.

In addition, there is a chance that you will also need to clear your device’s cache. This will force your device to download new information, and the game should update after that. Here’s how to do it for both Xbox and PC.
