Palworld is already seeing over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam
I keep hitting refresh on the SteamDB page of Palworld. Each time I do, the numbers keep shooting up. Despite the fact that Pocketpick’s new game has only come out today – in Early Access as well – the numbers suggest it’s going to be a big hit.
When the third-party Steam tracking website posted on Twitter/X earlier, it said Palworld had already reached over 110,000 concurrent players. At the time of writing, that number has gone up to 329,563.
The Top Sellers list on Steam shows it’s shot to the number two position (behind the Steam Deck, natch). While this isn’t too unusual for a brand-new game that’s got some hype behind it, it could well be a sign of things to come for the cute, Pokemon-inspired survival game.
If you haven’t heard of or are familiar with Palworld yet, don’t worry. I wasn’t until literally two days ago. If you want a nice breakdown of what the game’s like and how it plays, a couple of our writers took a quick look at it.
The Steam page has this to say about it:
Fight, farm, build and work alongside mysterious creatures called “Pals” in this completely new multiplayer, open world survival and crafting game!
