Palworld hits 3 million players, second highest concurrent players on Steam ever
In an astonishing development, Palworld, the latest game from Pocketpair, has rocketed to unprecedented success, shaking the foundations of the gaming industry. In just two days since its release, Palworld has reached the second highest concurrent players in the history of paid games on Steam, with a peak of 1.1 million players in the game at the same time.
The game's overwhelming popularity has led to an 'emergency meeting' between Epic Games and Pocketpair, aimed at addressing the massive influx of players. This influx initially caused server issues for those trying to play the game online, which Epic Games confirms have now been resolved.
At first glance, Palworld might remind players of a Pokémon-style adventure, but it quickly diverges with its inclusion of guns and crafting. Despite its apparent similarity to Nintendo's iconic franchise, Palworld has carved out its own niche, offering a bizarre mix of open-world survival gameplay, monster-catching, and offbeat humor.
