Playing together

How many people can play PAO PAO?

The official game description supports solo play or up to four players total in online co-op. A four-player group includes you and up to three other people. Check your demo version separately for the modes it exposes.

How do I invite a friend?

This guide has not verified the invitation menus or joining sequence. Follow the instructions in your installed version, and check official discussions if a connection fails. Our session-planning guide helps you prepare without assuming a particular menu layout.

Is split-screen or crossplay confirmed?

Our verified information confirms online co-op. It does not confirm split-screen, local co-op or cross-platform play. Treat those features as unconfirmed here.

Where to play

Is PAO PAO on Switch, mobile, PS5 or Xbox?

What PC specifications do I need?

Check the full, current system-requirements section on the Steam page. Compare every listed component with your PC; a partial list cannot establish compatibility.

Can I use a controller or Steam Deck?

We have not independently verified controller compatibility or a Steam Deck rating for this guide. Review the current Steam compatibility information and announcements for your device.

Which languages are listed?

The official listing checked on September 29 includes 13 languages: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Polish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Being listed does not mean every language has identical audio, interface and subtitle support. Check the corresponding columns in the Steam language table.
