Palia received its first major patch update in August 2023 following the release of the game's Closed and Open Beta for PC.

Palia 0.188 Patch Notes: All New Content, Adjustments & Bug Fixes
The latest patch update has ushered in a brand new year full of prosperity, as developer Singularity 6 detailed in their official patch notes. The launch of this patch update is the first major content update for the cozy MMO in 2025, as it will address some additional bug fixes along with some new content.
For the v0.188 patch update, the New Beginnings update sees the return of the Maji Market's Luna New Year festivities, in which Palians can participate in various festival activities, including the Hot Pot card game, the elusive Chaapa Chase event, more rewards to claim through the seasonal Treasure Chests, completing Stamp Card missions and by making a Wish by placing a ribbon on the Wish Tree.
A brand new feature, which arrives later in the patch update, Zeki's Loyalty Club, provides Palians with a new way to acquire Palia Coins simply by logging into the game. This membership offering will be available via the Premium Store, and the developer will officially announce its release closer to the time.
