Why Palworld can trigger motion sickness
Palworld uses a third-person camera. Camera shake and motion blur are the two effects the game lets you switch off. Beyond those, the documented comfort controls are thin: there is a field of view setting, but no head bob, vignette or other camera option is listed.
- Camera shake, which can be turned off in the options
- Motion blur, which Can I Play That? says can be turned off
- A field of view that tops out at 90 degrees on PC

Comfort settings in Palworld
Palworld ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
The field of view range is limited to 70-90 degrees on PC, and nothing else about the camera is adjustable in the sources checked. PCGamingWiki lists 70-90 degrees on PC. Pocketpair added support for vertical field of view settings in version 1.0, which is aimed at ultrawide monitors.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Camera shake | Options menu (Pocketpair does not name the tab) | Off. Pocketpair fixed shake that still appeared when this was OFF in version 1.0 |
| Motion blur | Options menu (Can I Play That? does not name the tab) | Off |
| Field of view | Options menu (PCGamingWiki does not name the tab) | Raise it toward the top of the range. PCGamingWiki lists 70-90 degrees on PC |
