Palworld: Shattering Records with 4 Million Copies Sold in 3 Days!
A new indie game has taken the gaming world by storm, achieving a remarkable sales milestone. Palworld, often dubbed as “Pokémon with guns,” has sold over 4 million copies in just three days! This incredible feat comes after the game sold a staggering one million copies within the first eight hours of its release. However, it remains uncertain if these numbers include players from Xbox Game Pass and the Epic Games Store.
Previous reports revealed that Palworld had surpassed 1.3 million concurrent players across all platforms, placing it among the elite group of games that have exceeded the one million player threshold. This puts Palworld in the same league as iconic titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Lost Ark.
According to the latest updates on Twitter, Palworld’s sales continue to soar, currently reaching an impressive 86,000 copies per hour (at the time of writing this article). The influx of players since launch, however, has led to server issues and connection problems on January 19th.
Additionally, it is worth noting that the Xbox version of Palworld still lags behind its Steam counterpart in terms of functionality, raising concerns among players. Apart from the striking resemblances to the Pokémon series, fans have also scrutinized the CEO’s stance on artificial intelligence (AI) and the game’s use of AI, leading to suspicions that Palworld may have been developed using similar techniques.
However, a recent report sheds some light on the project’s background, though it does not discount previous efforts by Pocketpair involving AI usage. As Thaddius Crews tweeted, “Assuming this developer description of Palworld is accurately translated, this is a team that broke the mold like no other: • Creating models instead of buying them for the first time • No version control and naming conventions • DIDN’T KNOW WHAT A ‘RIG’ WAS.”
