A Unique Hybrid Game: Creature-Taming with Firearms
The game industry has seen a unique twist with the introduction of Palworld, a game that can be best described as "Pokémon with Guns". Released on January 19, the game has quickly garnered a significant fanbase intrigued by the idea of hunting down adorable creatures with firearms.
Availability and Initial Challenges
Developed by Pocketpair, this monster-taming survival game is not only available to Game Pass subscribers for free, but there is also a paid version on Steam attracting a lot of attention on its first day of release. However, the surge of interest has put a strain on the game's servers, with the team currently addressing connectivity issues.
Popularity on Steam
Palworld has already seen over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam during its first day of Early Access. This impressive figure does not account for players on Xbox or those playing on PC through other launchers. The game's popularity has landed it on the list of top 25 record holders for concurrent players on Steam, surpassing even popular titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Starfield.
The Appeal of the Game
The unique concept of "Pokémon with Guns" has certainly caught people's attention. With some recent criticism surrounding the Pokémon games, fans seeking a fresh take on the monster-taming genre may find Palworld an intriguing alternative.
Server Stability Issues
Despite the game's soaring popularity, Pocketpair has been struggling to keep up with the demand. The team has acknowledged server stability issues and is advising players to either restart the game or wait until the issues are resolved.
Legitimacy of the Game
Pocketpair is aware that Palworld might be perceived as just another copycat scam game. To counter this, the team has assured players that Palworld is a legitimate game, despite its creature designs bearing a striking resemblance to popular characters from Pokémon.
