Palworld Just Passed 2 Million Concurrent Players On Steam, Only Second Game To Ever To Do So
In less than a week on sale, Palworld has reached more than 2 million concurrent players on Steam alone, according to SteamDB, surpassing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and claiming the spot for second most concurrent players on Steam of all time.
It’s been a wild week for the monster collecting, early access survival game the internet has come to refer to as “Pokemon with guns.” But it’s clear Palworld is striking a chord with audiences, satisfying an apparent demand for an open-world Pokemon-like game that the Pokemon Company and Nintendo haven’t been able to meet in recent years.
Making Palworld’s concurrent player record even more impressive is the fact that the game’s huge player numbers and record-breaking sales figures don’t even factor in Xbox, where the game can be purchased for $30 but is also available on both Game Pass for consoles and PC.
