Palworld’s meteoric trajectory has seemingly continued following its smashing 1.0 launch on July 10. Nearly two weeks after launch, on July 19, the game reached 961,867 concurrent players reported by SteamDB, the highest figure since the game’s early access launch in 2024, when it clocked just over 2.1 million concurrent players on SteamDB.
If you’ve played before, 1.0 is a pretty significant change. If you quit playing shortly after it blew up on 2024, it’s nearly a different game.
EAT SHIT NINTENDO!! Also fuck all of you that are STILL Nintendo simps.
I came back after trying it a bit in early access a year ago. Definitely feels way more fleshed out and I’m really enjoying it so far
Gave it a try for a couple of hours to see what the fuss is about. It’s not bad, like a cross between survial crafting/ pokemon game / animal crossing, but very casual and dad-friendly. Haven’t seen many bugs but there’s some jank here and there. I’m not really seeing it have a lot of staying power, but that might just be me not being familiar with pokemon games.
I just started out today myself. It’s a little hard to get into a sandbox game with my kids ruining the vibe, though, so I may need to wait until I have a bit of late night time to build a base properly and whatnot.
I’ve also never been a huge fan of over the shoulder perspective… I wonder if I can go first person somehow…
Just hit max level. Gotta catch them all!

I’m still waiting for that perfect creature catching game, but palworld can definitely tide me over for now, very fun game. Although i recommend not flying unless you absolutely need to.
