Summary
Palworldhas sold over 7 million copies in just 5 days, establishing its place as the most unexpected hit of early 2024. Despite still being an early access release,Palworldhas already climbed to the top of the Steam charts, reaching over 2 million consecutive players and surpassing the records of even massively popular titles such asCounter-Strike 2.
While the so-called “Pokemonwith guns” already made some waves when it was announced by Pocketpair in 2021, most gamers hardly expected it to be so successful. By mixing monster-catching with survival and base-building mechanics,Palworldbecame a huge hit. The game sold a million copies in only 8 hours, later reaching 5 million sales in just 3 days.
Now, Pocketpair has announced thatPalworldsold 7 million copies just 5 days after its release. Not only is the game selling well, but it’s also gaining rave reviews. At the moment,Palworldhas over 70,000 reviews on Steam, sitting at Overwhelmingly Positive with 93% positive reviews.
How Many Copies Has Palworld Sold So Far?
At the moment,Palworldis only available on PC and Xbox. However, this may change in the future, possibly leading to even more sales if it hits Sony’s consoles. A few days ago, PlayStation’s Shuhei Yoshidahinted thatPalworldmay appear on PS5when inquired by a fan. However, it’s highly unlikely that a PS5 port may happen anytime soon, especially considering that the game has not even reached its 1.0 release yet.
ThePalworlddevelopers recently released a road map, sharing a glimpse of what the future of thePokemon-like survival title has in store. According to Pocketpair,Palworldwill eventually gain new islands, more Pals, and even a few new bosses, including endgame content like Raid Bosses. Other future updates include the eagerly awaited PvP content such as a Pal Arena, as well as more improvements to the game’s base-building system. Before all that happens, however, the main goal is to address the critical issues that plague the game, such as numerous glitches, problems with AI, rollbacks in world date, and the crashes experienced by some players.
