Following its official launch a few days ago, Pocketpair’s Palworld has grown to be the second most-played Steam game. This means that this new survival game has overthrown Counter-strike, which held the second place on Steam’s list of the most-played games. Still holding strong to the first place position is PUBG, as it remains the most-played game on the streaming platform.
Pocketpair’s new game is making a lot of waves in the gaming industry for a few reasons. Already on Steam, it has over 1,853,216 concurrent players, which is very impressive for a game that is barely days old. One of the major reasons for this growth is the similarities this new game bears with a popular game.
Yes, Pocketpair’s Palworld bears some similarities with Pokémon, and this helps it to gain more attention in the gaming world. Some players have even opted to call this new survival and crafting game ‘Pokémon with guns.’ It’ll only take new players of this game who are in sync with Pokémon minutes to notice some similarities between Pokémon characters and Palworld’s Pal characters.
Well, its similarity with Pokémon is not the only reason this new game is amassing much attention. Its play style has a unique role to play in its impressive growth ever since its launch. This new game is available for play on the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
On all platforms combined, Pocketpair’s Palworld has sold over 7 million copies at this point. That is impressive growth for a game that hit the launch stage a few days ago. Over the coming months, we expect this new game to see some more growth in popularity among Xbox and PC players.
