Palworld has exceeded Counter-Strike 2's concurrent player record, and become the second biggest ever game on Steam

If you didn’t already think Disney was taking over the world, their latest announcement alongside Epic Games should terrify you.

Arrowhead Game Studios was working on Helldivers 2 for a while, and though the co-op third-person shooter is clearly an ambitious follow-up to its top-down predecessor, few would have predicted that it would go on to enjoy the success that it has seen in the immediate aftermath of its release. 

An upcoming game about taking planet-wrecking corporations to court hopes to go beyond its onscreen battles by raising money for real-life environmental aid. Behind All Rise is a team including both climate experts and top-notch games talent with credits spanning Horizon Forbidden West, Thirsty Suitors, League of Legends and Paradise Killer.

Helldivers 2 has become Sony’s biggest ever game launch on Steam, despite a ‘mixed’ reception from players.

The latest Counter-Strike 2 update re-introduces Arms Race, a beloved multiplayer mode from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in which players level up and are handed new guns as they moider each other, with victory going to the player who levels all the way up and performs a final knifekill.

New rumors have begun to circulate surrounding a PlayStation State of Play event later this week. If true, the showcase could unveil several new titles and provide updates on highly anticipated PlayStation-exclusive releases such as and .

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has earned the largest launch on Steam for any game released by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

A glitch has been found in Palworld that stops a player’s Pal from attacking enemies during battle. Owing to gamers catching and battling monsters, Palworld has drawn comparisons with Nintendo’s Pokemon franchise since it debuted in early access on January 19.

The runaway success of Palworld continues as the game has once again shattered its concurrent player count on Steam with millions of active users. The launch of the mash-up of survival and monster-catching games last week has seen overwhelming popularity, taking the internet by storm and seeing players flock to the game. The newest game from developer Pocket Pair would sell over 7 million copies on Steam within just five days of its launch, also releasing Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass. Now, the game has once again exceeded one of its own records.

Palworld has eclipsed two million concurrent players on Steam, becoming only the second-ever game on Valve's platform to do so.

The dream continues for independent Japanese developer Pocketpair as Palworld has now sold over seven million units in just five days since its early access launch. The open world survival crafting game with monster collection mechanics had sold one million in eight hours, two in twenty-four, three in forty, five million in three days, and six in four days. What's even more impressive is that, according to Geoff Keighley, these sales are for the Steam version alone. They do not account for sales on the Microsoft Store via PC/Xbox, nor do they account for Game Pass player numbers.

Palworld now has the second highest concurrent player count in Steam‘s history.
