Palworld and its impressive numbers are on par with the best-selling games of recent years

The great phenomenon of the beginning of 2024 makes history on Steam and aims to go further in the future.

Palworld continues to surprise, and the moment you blink your eyes, a new historical figure appears, confirming the enormous phenomenon of what is undoubtedly the game of the moment. The developer Pocket Pair launched the title a few days ago in Early Access, and since then it has not stopped attracting the attention of millions of players around the world, and in just 40 hours since its launch it has sold three million, sweeping and looking on par with some of the biggest games of recent times.

The Pokémon model continues to captivate gamers around the world. And while the gameplay and many of the mechanics are far removed from the Nintendo franchise, the spirit of capture and adventure is very much alive in a title that, given its Early Access status, shows the enormous potential it could have in the future. An early version of Palworld that surprises for how complete it has been released and the possibilities it offers from the beginning to all those who enter a title with more and more followers.

Palworld makes history on Steam

It is not easy to achieve historic figures on a platform with the journey of Steam, with more than two decades old and an almost infinite library of video games. Palworld is surprising not only for its sales figures, being a game in Early Access, but also for its concurrent players, having managed to exceed one million people active at the same time, an amount that places it as the paid game in the history of Steam with more concurrent players. More than 1,200,000 players have joined Palworld at the same time, surpassing Cyberpunk 2077 as the paid game with the highest number of concurrent players, crazy numbers that demonstrate the enormous success of a game that is here to stay.
