Irina "Zemlia" Sukhanova The new game titled Palworld quickly gained popularity. Currently, the internet is abuzz with news, user posts, and blogger videos dedicated to this novelty. The concept of Pokémon with weapons appealed so much to players that more than 4 million copies of Palworld were sold in three days. In the first eight hours alone, it surpassed the one million copy mark.
How fast is this growth? The game is already in the 5th spot on Steam for the number of concurrent players, just 3 days after its launch. With just 3000 more players, it will overtake Dota 2. Recent triple-A hits like Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3, and Elden Ring are far behind.

Moreover, this is just early access, and many games on Steam reach their peak concurrent player count only on the 2nd or 3rd weekend after release. Whether Palworld can maintain this pace remains to be seen.
Such results are truly impressive, considering that Palworld was developed over three years by a team of just four developers.
Representatives from Pocketpair Studio reported that they initially had no plans to release Palworld for PS consoles. However, the game's successful launch and high demand from players have made them consider a release on this platform. In the future, the game might appear on PS5, but currently, the team has no specific plans in this regard.
Currently, the developers are conducting internal testing of Palworld's PvP mode and working on other features. Alongside this, work is ongoing to add crossplay between Xbox and Steam, as well as support for user modifications.

Palworld is a cooperative survival simulator. Gamers need to build structures, explore dungeons, and gather resources with the help of unique creatures, Pals, found in the open world.
To use these amazing creatures for their purposes, players first need to capture them in spheres. Each type of 'creature' possesses various valuable skills, indicating their inclination towards certain types of work.
Players can force Pals to work in factories and plantations and also to fight. Additionally, they can breed and sell them. Besides, gamers can extract resources from them. In the world of Palworld, players can also engage in poaching, "hunting" for rare Pals in special zones.
