Palworld hits 7M copies sold in 5 days

Palworld continues to be the surprise hit of 2024 with its latest announcement of seven million copies sold in five days.

Previously, developer Pocketpair announced that the title — an open world survival online game described by fans as “Pokémon with guns” — had sold more than five million copies in three days. Simon Carless of GameDiscoverCo noted that Steam data also shows a high correlation between Palworld players and those who have played Monster Hunter: World, Elden Ring and Risk of Rain 2. Pocket Pair further described the game as being “about living a slow easy-going happy life with mysterious creatures called Pal’ or throwing yourself into life-and-death battles with the villainous poachers.”
