Palworld sales numbers: How many people are playing and paying?

The director behind the upcoming Stellar Blade has revealed the amount of costumes available to wear, with 30 in total being unlockable in-game. Stellar Blade is releasing on April 26, with many gamers keeping their eyes on it after its re-reveal in 2023. Its developer, Shift Up, is making its debut as a high-end console developer with Stellar Blade, with the game garnering attention for its sci-fi setting and its characters. The protagonist of Stellar Blade, Eve, has been a hot topic of discussion ever since the game's reveal.

As Palworld continues to grow on Steam and Xbox, a content creator took to social media to share how they went about making an «unraidable» base dedicated to mining ore and coal. Knowing that both ore and coal are valuable resources in Palworld, the video covered how the content creator optimized their mining and production operations at the base, and showed others how and where to replicate them.

One of the defining features of the survival-crafting game Palworld is the fact that the busywork can be offloaded to the eponymous Pals — and Anubis, in particular, has great stats for this.

It's no secret that Palworld takes a great deal of inspiration from Pokemon, and this includes the fact that the monsters in the game are assigned specific types that have advantages and weaknesses to others. With Palworld still being in early access, it's entirely possible that future updates will increase the number of types that are available in the game, but at the time of this writing, there are nine different Pal types.

Room for another mass layoff post, before we end the day? This one is actually two separate stories but in a bid to conserve resources and make our frontpage slightly less depressing to read, I am going to roll them together. Black Forest Games, the Embracer-owned creators of the Destroy All Humans! Remake, are reportedly cutting 50% of their workforce - around 50-60 people. Outriders developers People Can Fly, meanwhile, have laid off 30 developers who were working on an unannounced Square Enix game.

A new Palworld mod that was released online today enables some ray tracing features, improves ambient occlusion and shadow quality and more.

Claire Foy is no stranger to challenging roles. She's played Queen Elizabeth II in The Crown, fated Tudor queen Anne Boleyn in Wolf Hall, and astronaut Neil Armstrong's wife Janet in First Man. But All of Us Strangers, a haunting new romantic drama from director Andrew Haigh, is the first time she's played the mother of a man nearly a decade older than her.

Before Doom became the lean, mean murdermachine we know and love, Id Software had far bigger plans for their seminal satanic FPS. Ideas dropped during development include a big focus on story, four playable characters, elemental shields, demonic weapons, and more. The mod Doom Delta brings to life many such ideas from sources including an old design document and leaked alpha builds, which I think makes it fanfic? A new version of Doom Delta launched last week, offering a curious vision of the many Dooms Id didn't make.

So, you've decided that you want to play Palworld. Now you're wondering, is Palworld free? And if not, what's the cheapest price you can play it for?

Even in its early access form, Palworld has attracted a massive audience, selling over 7 million copies and becoming Steam’s second-highest concurrently played game to date, and clearly, the audience that it has attracted has had great things to say about it. As an early access game though, there’s still plenty more to come, and developer Pocketpair has offered a glimpse of what that will entail in a roadmap recently shared on Twitter.

As if it couldn’t beat any more records, Palworld is now the second-highest concurrently played game of all time on Steam. At 1,864,421 peak concurrent players, it’s beatenCounter-Strike 2’s record of 1,818,773. The only competition left is PUBG: Battlegrounds, with an all-time peak of 3,257,248 concurrent players.

The CEO of Palworld developer Pocketpair has stated that the game's artists have received death threats, and has asked that people stop directing messages towards studio staff.
