An interview with Pocketpair's CEO Takuro Mizobe recently hinted that the studio's smash hit survival game Palworld could soon go free-to-play in order to "extend its lifespan." The company has now clarified that the interview was conducted months ago and no such plans are in place anymore.
"We are not changing our game's business model," the studio tweeted today, "it will remain buy-to-play and not free-to-play or [game as a service]. Recently, an article was published in which we discussed the possible future direction of Palworld and ideas for continuing the game for a long time. In fact, this interview was conducted several months ago."
