Palworld Sells Over 7 Million Copies

Last week was another big one for major new releases, with RPG fans in particular being treated to the one-two punch of Persona 3 Reload and Granblue Fantasy: Relink– both of which have got off to solid starts in Japan, as per weekly physical sales data released by Famitsu.

Palworld has sold at an incredible pace since its early access launch last week, and the game is showing no signs of slowing down. At last count, within five days of release, the open world survival game had sold over 7 million units, and developer Pocketpair has now provided another sales update.

Palworld has reached another impressive milestone, passing two million concurrent players on Steam. Palworld's unique formula has seen it skyrocket up the charts after the game's recent release.

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 developer Pocketpair has laid out a roadmap of improvements for the early access game.

Palworld’s explosive launch shows no sign of slowing down, with the ‘Pokémon with guns’ crafting and survival game selling another million copies in a day.

Total sales for open-world survival crafting game Palworld have surpassed seven million units in only five days after its Early Access launch, developer Pocket Pair announced. (Update 1:40 a.m.: According to Geoff Keighley, Pocket Pair has confirmed that these sales numbers are Steam only, and do not include Xbox, Microsoft Store for PC, or Game Pass numbers.)

Palworld just keeps going on an absolutely incredible ride toward the top. The 'Pokémon with guns' survival crafting game released last Friday by Japanese developer Pocketpair has now sold six million units in just four days. It has also surpassed 1.5 million concurrent Steam players, inching ever closer to the second spot on the all-time chart. Counter-Strike 2 managed 1.8 million nine months ago, around the time of its launch, but it's a free-to-play game. Moreover, at this rate, Palworld could very well blaze past it during the next weekend.

Palworld, the viral hit action-adventure survival title from Japanese developers Pocketpair, has taken the gaming industry by storm, climbing to the top of Steam charts and selling six million copies in just four days of release. But as the game's player count balloons, it has found itself embroiled in a plagiarism controversy, with many on the Internet pointing out alleged similarities between the designs of Palworld's creatures and those in popular Pokémon games. A user on social media platform X has gone as far as to compare in-game 3D models from both Palworld and Pokémon, claiming evidence of outright plagiarism.

Palworld has sold at an alarming rate since its early access launch for PC and Xbox last week, and developer Pocketpair has been providing updates on each of its sales milestone. The open world survival game sold a million units within 8 hours, got to 2 million later that day, hit 3 million and then 4 million within three days, before getting to the 5 million mark yesterday.

It’s no secret that Palworld is taking the world by storm, as the developers at Pocket Pair are celebrating over 4 million copies of the game sold in only a matter of days. 

Palworld, the violent yet charming third-person open-world Pokémon-alike from developer Pocketpair, has been going from strength to strength lately, garnering impressive numbers of players and sales.
