Steam
Navigate to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\Config\Windows\". Easy way to go there is to paste this in Windows Explorer's address bar and then press enter.
Gamepass
Navigate to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Pal\Saved\Config\WinGDK\". Easy way to go there is to paste this in Windows Explorer's address bar and then press enter.
Once you're there open the file named "Engine.ini" with a text editor like Notepad and paste these lines in it:
[/Game/Mods/Pause/ModActor.ModActor_C]
PauseKey=F3
You can find valid keys to use here: Unreal Engine Fkeys - Pastebin.com
All of them should work theoretically, at least the keyboard and the gamepad keys should work for sure.
Installation
Download UE4SS. You can find the download link when you scroll all the way down. The file you should download should look something like "UE4SS_v3.0.1-416-g4a88719.zip". The numbers might change since the experimental version of UE4SS is updated frequently.
To install UE4SS you need to extract its .zip archive and then go to where your game is installed and navigate to this path: \Pal\Binaries\Win64. Drop the extracted files here. In the end it should look like this:
\Pal\Binaries\Win64\dwmapi.dll
\Pal\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss
Download the variant of the mod corresponding to your game (steam/gamepass) and extract its .zip file. Go to where your game is installed and navigate to \Pal\Content\Paks. Make a new folder named "LogicMods" in here if you don't have one already. Drop Pause.pak for steam and Pause.pak/Pause.ucas/Pause.utoc for gamepass from the .zip archive in here.
In the end it should look like this for the Steam version of the game: \Pal\Content\Paks\LogicMods\Pause.pak
The paths might be different for the gamepass version of the game.

Notes
The Gamepass variant of the mod uses chunkID 9823.
