Palword isn’t done topping the charts just yet. It was recently revealed that since Palworld was released a month ago, it has pulled in more than 25 million players – 15 million on Steam, and 10 million on Xbox. Pocket Pair – the game’s developer – has stressed that it’s continuing to focus on bug fixes and anti-cheat measures as the game’s community just keeps swelling.
Bigger than Pokémon
According to Statista, the best-selling Pokémon game of all time is Red/Blue on Game Boy, which was released back in 1996. Before the end of its lifecycle, the top-tier pairing had sold 31.3 million copies, with the next closest release being Sword/Shield, which sold 26.02 million copies. That means that Palworld is about to edge out Pokémon’s most popular games ever within a single month of release.
Despite issues, Palworld has continued to exceed expectations and dominate sales charts. In recent weeks, newsfeeds have been pumped full of remarkable achievements and player builds, with some users going to intense extremes to get the most out of Pocket Pair’s paradigm-shifting title.
