‘Palworld’ by the numbers — and they’re big numbers
Reading Time: 2 minutesCannonball into a copyright grey area first, ask questions later, we guess.
Palworld has seemingly come out of nowhere, cannonballing into Twitch feeds and Steam charts despite its extreme similarities to both Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. But considering the game is still in early access release, it’s doing some major numbers.
Developed by Japanese developer Pocketpair, the action-adventure, role-playing survival game dropped on Steam, Xbox, and Windows PC on Jan. 18 and has already sold over 5 million copies in a few days. As IGN points out, that’s more than Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II, which sold 4 million copies in three days, Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man (3.3 million copies), and Sony’s God of War reboot (3.1 million copies).
Palworld is a large open-world map that where you can build bases and ‘peacefully live alongside mysterious creatures known as Pals or risk your life to drive off a ruthless poaching syndicate.’ You can use the Pals to fight your battles, force them into labour roles, sell them, or eat them — it’s really dark for how cute it all is.
Palworld is currently the top played game on Steam, with a peak of 1.5 million concurrent players, and a total of 74 million hours banked — overtaking Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2. It’s currently the third most played game on Steam behind the mighty PUBG: Battlegrounds and Counter-Strike 2.
Guess it pays to directly copy one of the biggest franchises of all time — though Pokémon fans, understandably, are beyond mad. Is something burning? Can I smell a lawsuit?
