There’s a reason why fans are mostly excited about the full unveiling of EA Sports College Football 25. It’s been quite a while since the last college football video game, and many feel that college football is as good as it’s been in a while, especially thanks to the college football playoff that’s been going on for a decade. But there was always a “sticky wicket,” if you will, with the original titles. While they tended to use the players’ likenesses within the games and post the best players on the cover like the NFL version did, they never paid the players to use their likenesses.
Months before launch, Palworld’s community manager thought that anything above 50,000 players ‘seemed unobtainable’

Almost a month afterPalworld’s successful early-access launch, Pocketpair community manager ‘Bucky’ has been reflecting on his expectations for the game prior to its launch, and revealed that in May last year, reaching anything above 50,000 players seemed impossible.
In case you were unfamiliar, the survival-crafting game launched in early access on PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One (and on Xbox Game Pass) on January 19, and as of January 31, it had reached a total of 19 million players across all platforms. Its concurrent player figures have been enormous, too — on Steam, it previously hit a whopping 2,101,867 concurrent players. This surpassed Counter-Strike 2’s record, and gave Palworld Steam’s second-highest concurrent player record (after PUBG’s monumental peak of 3,257,248 concurrent players).
Needless to say, months before launch, this wasn’t something that Bucky had anticipated. In a new post on Twitter / X, he wrote: “In May of 2023, I was convinced that Palworld could break the 50,000 player mark. Anything above that seemed unobtainable though, and I certainly never expected it to reach into the millions.
“It has taken years to get to this point, and Palworld only really begins from here,” he continued. “Everyone is working hard to fix the issues and prepare new content and Pals.”
Palworld has already received a number of updates ironing out bugs and issues. Last week, one was rolled out which, among other things, fixed save data that had been corrupted by catching too many Pals in a guild (multiplayer group). However, much bigger changes are on the way — the game’s early-access roadmap was revealed last month, and it unveiled plans to add PvP, raid bosses and more. However, it’s not clear when these things will be implemented.
