Palworld hits 19m players

Hello. I gathered you all here to tell you that water is wet. In other – perhaps equally obvious – news, Palworld continues to attract more players than some countries have citizens. As of this week, more than 25 million people have played Pocketpair’s monster-catching survival game.

Palworld has reached an astonishing 25m players within its first month.

Early Access smash hit Palworld has attracted more than 25 million players within its first month on sale.

Palworld has been played by more than 25 million players since its launch, its studio Pocketpair says.

As with every RPG (and in life, when we think about it), it's preferable to work smart than work hard. And Palworld is no different.

Palworld was announced and has been in development since 2021, and thanks to a switch in development software early on, from Unity to Unreal Engine 4, the game has undergone huge changes since the release of the original announcement trailers and early additional trailers.

A Palworld player has discovered that mounting a Pal while butchering it allows players to get resources without killing the creature. Palworld is a survival game set in a colorful world where players build bases and catch creatures known as Pals. While Pals can fight, they engage in other activities like farming and dungeon exploration.

A member of the Palworld development team has advised fans to try playing other games while they wait for content updates.

Presumably not ready to leave Attack on Titan behind after its anime finale, one Palworld player has recreated the series' iconic central city on a massive scale, purportedly without the use of any mods to make things easier. 

A Palworld player has discovered yet another ridiculous bug in the game, one that leaves their character walking funny seemingly without end. Palworld fans have been running into bugs as they play the game, but so far, most of them have been harmless and amusing rather than gamebreaking.

A Palworld player has created a mod that adds their version of the Nuzlocke Challenge. Palworld offers a lot for players to do, and the experience is expanded even further with the possibility of installing mods. Thanks to this, Palworld players have been creating a variety of mods that add different features to the open-world survival game.

As I take my first steps out of a cave, surveying a familiar-looking plateau draped in nothing but a loincloth, I suddenly crash into a bulbous, bleating ball of cotton-wool. Half sheep, half sentient ball of fluff, it lets out a startled meep, curling into a ball and rolling head-first towards me.
