Palworld game designer and community manager 'Bucky' says it's "heartbreaking" to see Pocketpair's survival game being used in order to chase "2010 era 'console war' updoot farming," after recent social media posts began pitting it against Helldivers 2.
It was confirmed this week that Helldivers 2 – which is only playable on PC and PS5 – is officially Sony Interactive Entertainment's fastest-selling game of all time. With over 12 million units sold since its release in February, it's smashed through the record previously held by Santa Monica Studio's God of War Ragnarok, in what's no doubt an enormous achievement for Arrowhead Game Studios. However, on the back of this, some social media users began comparing Helldivers 2's success to that of Palworld's, which sold 15 million copies on Steam and accumulated 10 million players on Xbox in its first month, and even managed to become the second game to reach over two million concurrent players on Steam.
