The launch of Palworld seems like a long time away, but we only have to go back to January 19. It was the first hit of 2024, followed by Helldivers 2, and brought with it many controversies, the most notable of which has to do with its nickname: Pokémon with guns.
Palworld It was a sensation on social media as well as on PC (Steam) and Xbox Series X/S, so much so that even The Pokémon Company had to release a statement to inform its fans that they were aware of the whole matter… although the game is still alive and kicking five months later. Of course, its numbers have declined a bit and many users have taken advantage of the situation.
Palworld was at 2 million, then it was at 15k, now it’s at 140k… not something to get upset about. In a few weeks it will go back down and in the next major update it will go up. That’s how it works. Palworld could literally have 1 person playing it and that won’t take away from the fact that YOU played a fun game and have fun memories of it.
In this context, the Community Manager (CM) of Palworld at Poketpair He has given his opinion on the matter on his personal Twitter. He urges Palworld fans not to get carried away by publications that only look for numbers and interactions, and adds that it is not worth wasting time defending the video game. “If you like it, great! If you don’t like it, move on. There are plenty of other games you can try,” he says before ending the post.
It has gone from being one of the most played video games on Steam (2,101,867 players at its peak five months ago) to having 143,369 players in the last 24 hours, according to SteamDB. Although it is a steep decline, they are not bad numbers. For example, Helldivers 2 and GTA V have had 45,315 and 171,940 players respectively in the last 24 hours.
