Palworld Passes 25 Million Players, Matching Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Success

Today Palworld developer Pocketpair announced another milestone of sales and players for its super-popular survival crafting game, 25 million.
This pretty much matches the success of Nintendo's own Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

15 million sales on steam is super impressive. Wonder what the actual sales numbers are on xbox in comparison? As curiously they only gave player numbers there, but actual sales data for steam.

That's because Xbox includes Game Pass. It's quite likely that developers aren't given a breakdown until they actually get paid.

Even when they are, I'd be surprised if it wasn't covered by NDA or some other contractual clause.

Nice healthy competition, much like ALDI

I hope this gets the incompetent 'jobs a job' mentality outta gamefreak. its insane how lazy pokemon have been. Like they wont take feedback, they wont just work on a mechanic people enjoyed and bring it back. no they always gotta bring a new mechanic out thats lame, their characters are woke by the day, they cant let go of the on rails gameplay route.

Oh and S/V was so graphically bad.

I would LOVE for pokemn to go back to 2D and smash it outta the park.

Some people at Nintendo must be livid by the success and seemingly unable to do anything about it. I've not tried it yet but it looks like the game I always wanted Pokemon to become but after trying Shield, I have no faith in Nintendo to create that game.

Something tells me Nintendo are more than capable of creating the pokemon game the fans want. They'd rather just trickle in small mechanics (improvemts) over the same graphics, physics and charge premium for it. They know what their doing.

Frankly I'm glad Palworld is proving how incompetent they've been for all these years.

I mean, they should get flack. They stole designs and art, as well as used AI. They also did the same thing when it came to their other game which was a ripoff of Hollow Knight

All claims of stealing assets were from someone who modified assets to make them look the same AFAIK.

most games are ripoffs of something with their own spin on it, except we call it iterating. As long as the so called "rip offs" are fun and good, I'm all for it.

Delete all your social media. The majority of people playing your game don't care what people are saying.
