Palworld, the new survival game on Steam, is on everyone’s lips right now.

It feels like everything on the internet is about Palworld right now. The Pokémon blend with a survival twist brings together 1.86 million simultaneously active players on Steam.
In plain language it means: Within two days, Palworld climbed to second place among the most played Steam games of all time, even displacing CS:GO aka Counter-Strike 2 (1.81 million) and so far only having to admit defeat to PUBG (3.25 million). The biggest hype on Steam in eight months, when CS:GO reached its all-time high.
So it’s no wonder that Palworld takes first place in the previous week’s highest-grossing Steam games. Let’s see how long the enthusiasm lasts, whether the community’s approval so far is permanent, and how the early access of the survival game develops.
Meanwhile, Pokémon developer Nintendo has already kept a close eye on the largely very similar competitor.

Of course, there is also movement in the Steam top sellers outside of Palworld, although nothing particularly surprising. Two games in particular are seeing a significant uptick compared to the previous week, for various reasons:
- EA Sports FC 24: The football game kicked off its largest-ever sale discount of 70 percent on January 16th.
- War frame: On January 17th, the new Gauss Prime combat suit was released with purchasable access.
