Palworld has shaken the gaming industry

Palworld, the open-world survival game that is intensely enlivened by Pokemon, is having a galactic send off. In the 24 hours since the early access game came out it previously overshadowed Starfield's highest concurrent Steam player count, yet the story doesn't end there. So many of you have been playing the game that the Epic Games backend requires a fix just to ensure you can play on the web.

Palworld isn't simply overwhelming on Steam, as designer Pocketpair is now giving us details for exactly how well the Pokemon-like with crafting, base building, and weapons is doing. The survival game has surpassed 2 million copies sold in under 24 hours, and across all stages, the concurrents hit more than 1 million as well - this is enormous to such an extent that Palworld servers battled to stay aware of demand.

Pocketpair says they've been in touch with Epic Games over co-op hosting issues, and a quick update implies you ought to see "an improvement in connectivity" from this point forward.
