This accomplishment is remarkable, considering that franchises with already established fanbases often struggle to achieve such feats several days into release. Meanwhile, Palworld has reached the milestone in just 24 hours.
This achievement becomes even more impressive considering the game’s availability on the Xbox Game Pass. Despite easy access to the title, a significant number of people have gone ahead and bought it on Steam.
Palworld is currently priced at $26.99 on the platform. With a 10% discount, Pocketpair’s unique gameplay formula has captivated millions across the globe. Since its release, the game has also set new concurrent player count records on the platform.
According to SteamDB, Palworld peaked at 561K concurrent players, making it one of the biggest games on Steam. With the game continuously reaching new records, it could soon break past this number again.
The game is currently available for Xbox Series S|X and PC, but this popularity has led to a surge in demand from users of PlayStation and Nintendo platforms. While there is no update on future releases, Pocketpair is considering a multiplatform push following this incredible launch.
Palworld is still in early access, and according to the official Steam page, it is expected to remain in this stage for at least a year.
During this period, the developers plan to consistently update the game and introduce new content to enhance the player experience. However, going by these figures, millions are already satisfied with the current offering.
It appears that the gaming industry has discovered a new gem. Palworld only needs to sustain this incredible momentum moving forward, keeping players engaged for a successful early access period.
