Pocketpair’s Palworld has topped 32 million players across PC and consoles since its launch in January 2024. The game continues to be under threat of legal action from Nintendo, which likens the game to Pokémon.

Palworld launched to massive success in January 2024, reaching 2,101,867 concurrent players on Steam. The game has not slowed down since, with developer Pocketpair revealing it has now surpassed 32 million players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Now in its second year, the survival and crafting game continues to fight several lawsuits filed by Nintendo for copyright infringement relating to several mechanics, including how players used Pokéball-like Pal Spheres to capture Pals.

32 Million Players and Counting
Developer Pocketpair announced the milestone on X, where it thanked fans for their support over Palworld’s first year of Early Access. The recent Feybreak update in December 2024 helped the game surge again in numbers, increasing the player count on Steam by 515.6%.
The game’s appeal lies in its freedom, allowing players to battle, farm, and automate tasks with the help of Pals. With regular updates and fresh content, the future looks bright for Pocketpair and Palworld.

What’s Next for Palworld?
Palworld is still in Early Access, and Pocketpair plans to add more Pals, items, and buildings to the monster-catching survival and crafting game.
With no release date set, the developer has always maintained the game would be in Early Access for at least one year. It’s most likely the game’s full release hinges on legal proceedings brought by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company.
Conclusion
With over 32 million players and counting, Palworld is a massively popular game on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. As the game continues to evolve, all eyes are on the lawsuits to see how it moves forward. Are you one of the millions exploring Palworld? Share your adventures in the comments below!
