Did life exist beforePalworld? It doesn’t feel like it. Since the game was released – mere days ago – it’s become one of the most talked about games in a long time. But it isn’t only talk this game is generating, it’s sales too.
We were all blown away whenPalworldhit three million playersin its first weekend, yet that wasn’t enough for this game. Oh no, it had to keep growing, becoming a viral sensation that’s widely praised and criticised at the same time.

NowPalworldhas exceeded expectations again, selling six million copies in only four days. Due to this staggering feat, it’s now Steam’s largest paid game ever, which is an incredible accolade to walk away with considering Game of the Year 2023Baldur’s Gate 3is on there, as well as everyone’s favouriteSkyrim.
“At this ratePalworldwill beat bothSkyrimandLegends Arceusin first week sales (~7 million each),” said one fan. Given how quickly the game has gathered traction, this seems like a target the new game will easily beat.
Part of its charm, besides being about catching monsters, I mean,Pals, is the fact you can do outrageous activities likecapture and sell humans. Not one to shy away from the dark underbelly of life,Palworldis giving NPCs Pals and human alike equality when it comes to being used to further your character’s gains.

The controversy surrounding the game’s similarities to Pokémon is undoubtedly playing a role in its success. But we suspect that there’s more to its allure than being yet another monster catching game – as our very own Dan Lipscombe said, it’s “a great survival game that’smore than ‘Pokémon with guns’.”
If you want to add to those rocketingPalworldsales, the game is available on Xbox and Steam.
