Pocketpair's hit new open world survival game, Palworld, is already breaking records.
•Just a few days after its launch, Pocketpair's new "Pokémon with guns" open world survival creature capture game Palworld is already breaking Steam records.
•Specifically, it reached 730,000 concurrent players earlier this morning, making it the 10th most played game in Steam history.
•That number continued to soar until Palworld peaked at 855,425 players, putting it within striking distance of Baldur's Gate 3's record of 875,343.
•In addition to being available on Steam, you can also play Palworld on Xbox or on PC through the Microsoft Store client. Notably, it's on Xbox Game Pass as well.
•Update: Palworld's ascent continues, with the game reaching 2,010,117 concurrent players on Steam earlier this morning. This puts it over the 2 million player milestone, and increases its lead over Counter-Strike 2's position.
Update 1/24/2024 at 4:10 p.m. PT / 7:10 p.m. ET: How many times do I have to come back and update this article? Palworld has yet again skyrocketed to another milestone, soaring past 2 million concurrent players when it hit 2,010,117 this morning. This widens its lead on Counter-Strike 2's peak of 1,802,853, though PlayerUnknown's Battleground's January 2018 record of 3,236,027 is still on top.
It's an absolutely incredible launch for the Early Access title, so much so that Pocketpair had to have an emergency meeting with Epic Games just to try and keep things running smoothly in the backend. The developer probably wasn't expecting millions of Palworld copies to sell in just two days, but thankfully, most of the game's multiplayer connectivity issues appear to have been resolved by now.
