If you’re seeing an error message in Palworld that states, “Sorry, you’re currently prevented from playing online,” you can fix it easily. The error seems to be localized to Xbox, and the fix is to update the game. That’s it.
To update Palworld:

If the “Sorry you’re prevented from playing online multiplayer games” error persists in Palworld, it’s possible that a larger issue could be at play. The servers could be down, or a patch might have broken multiplayer entirely. You can narrow down the problem somewhat by checking the official server status page. Unfortunately, the message itself isn’t helpful at all and doesn’t give a reason as to why you’re being prevented from playing multiplayer.
Of course, this error can be frustrating, especially when you’re eager to join friends online. In such cases, contacting Palworld’s customer support directly can provide further assistance and updates on the issue. Remember to stay patient and check regularly for new patches or server updates that might resolve the error.
