PocketPair has now confirmed that the game has now reached over 19 million players in less than two weeks since its release – an incredibly good value, especially when you consider that it is an early access or game preview -Title, which is not finished yet. Around 7 million players of the number mentioned above are on the Xbox, around 12 million copies are on the version on Steam. For the first time there is now information about the performance of Palworld on the Xbox consoles.

The discussions about the alleged copying of various Pok̩mon as Pals do not detract from the success Рeven if it remains to be seen what conclusion the lawyers from Nintendo and The Pok̩mon Company will come to when it comes to a possible copyright infringement.
As is well known, Palworld is also part of the Xbox Game Pass and can be played by subscribers to Microsoft’s game subscription at no additional cost – and this option is being used on a large scale. Palworld is nothing less than the largest launch of a third-party game in the history of the increasingly popular game subscription. And: It is the third-party game in Game Pass that is most often played via cloud streaming.
Consequently, the development team also politely thanked everyone for their continued support and interest in the game. Finally, they promised that they would continue to focus on eliminating errors. Once you’re done with the bug fixes, Palworld should receive lots of big new content in the future; A corresponding roadmap with the specific plans has already been published recently.
Have you ever wondered what would make the little monsters from Pokémon even more cuddly? That’s right, a fully automatic assault rifle. That’s exactly what the developers at Palworld thought. Felix looked at the hype title. Have fun!
