Palworld Surpasses 2 Million Concurrent Players on Steam
Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts as Palworld, the highly anticipated fantasy-themed game developed by Pocketpair, has reached a significant milestone with over two million concurrent players on Steam. This incredible achievement places Palworld as the second game to achieve such overwhelming popularity, following the footsteps of PUBG which holds the record with an astonishing 3,257,248 concurrent players.
Although Palworld fell short of hitting the coveted three million mark, it continues to amass a large player base with 1,531,287 players currently engaged in the immersive gameplay. Pocketpair, the masterminds behind the creation, recently announced that they have sold a staggering 8 million copies of the game on Steam in less than six days, further cementing Palworld’s undeniable success.
The game’s popularity is not limited to Steam alone. Palworld is also available on Xbox, including Game Pass, and as a result, its total player count is expected to skyrocket even further. In fact, Palworld recently surpassed Fortnite in terms of player numbers on Xbox in the US, with players spending an average of over 200 minutes fully immersed in this captivating gaming universe.
Pocketpair has release a comprehensive roadmap outlining their plans for Palworld’s early access. Among the exciting improvements in the pipeline are player versus player (PvP) battles, epic end-game Raid Bosses, and the introduction of new Pals. These enhancements are sure to keep the loyal fanbase engaged and heighten the overall gaming experience.
With the game’s remarkable success, it is no surprise that some eyebrows have been raised in the industry. The Pokémon Company recently issued a statement expressing their intentions to investigate potential intellectual property infringement claims related to Palworld. A former chief legal officer of The Pokémon Company also voiced surprise at Palworld’s rapid success and emphasized the need for a thorough investigation.
As Palworld continues to captivate the gaming world with its enchanting gameplay and massive player count, it remains to be seen how Pocketpair will address the intellectual property concerns raised by The Pokémon Company. But for now, gamers worldwide eagerly await the next update from Pocketpair, and the journey that lies ahead in Palworld.
