Moreover, the game’s sales have soared, with a remarkable two million copies sold. Such unprecedented popularity led to an urgent meeting with Epic Games to manage the influx of players.
In a recent development, Palworld’s developers, Pocketpair, can now celebrate another remarkable achievement.

According to renowned YouTuber Benji Sales, Palworld’s concurrent players have exceeded the records set by Baldur’s Gate 3, the Game of the Year for 2023. It has now outpaced both Hogwarts Legacy and Elden Ring as well.
Surpassing the 900,000 concurrent players mark, Palworld currently holds the 7th position among Steam’s most concurrently played games of all time. This is a significant achievement for a game that has only been in early access since January 19.
As industry expert Mat Piscatella humorously noted, if Palworld continues its current pace of player count growth, it will have been experienced by every individual on the planet by the 267th hour of distribution.

Palworld’s extraordinary success has shattered multiple records, including selling over a million copies within the first eight hours of its release.
