In a Pokémon-esque survival gaming realm, Palworld has notched an impressive 6 million in sales within a mere four days.
Pocketpair took to social media to share this significant milestone, while acknowledging and actively addressing various bugs flagged by players.
The studio stated, "Some users are experiencing problems and bugs, which we are addressing with the highest priority."
Moreover, Palworld continues to set new records on Steam, boasting an impressive 1.86 million concurrent users as of the latest update.
This surpasses the concurrent user counts achieved by major releases such as Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.
Remarkably, the game is on the brink of surpassing PUBG: Battlegrounds' all-time peak of 3.25 million concurrent users, potentially claiming the title of record holder.
As the early access title pushes boundaries, questions linger on whether it will go too far. The present moment seems to defy conventional expectations.
Over the weekend, the early access title reached its peak with 1.29 million concurrent users on Steam, according to SteamDB estimates. As of the current moment, it still boasts over 1 million concurrent users.
Palworld presently reigns supreme on the Steam most played charts, surpassing heavyweight releases like Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Apex Legends to claim the top spot.
While falling short of setting an all-time concurrent user record – an accolade held by PUBG Battlegrounds with over 3 million players simultaneously – Palworld has broken records previously set by blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, and others.
Pocketpair, the developer, expressed gratitude for the game's meteoric success, revealing sales of 86,000 units per hour on Sunday.
The studio acknowledged the overwhelming influx of bug reports, with over 50,000 support requests over the weekend, and apologized for the support team's delayed response.
Palworld is currently accessible on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, and Xbox Game Pass.
