Palworld has achieved more players in 2 months than Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy managed in a year

Just one month after launch, Pocketpair says Palworld (or, as we've called it, "the Pokémon this sinful world deserves") has now surpassed 25 million players across Steam and Xbox.

Palworld isn't flying quite as high as it was in January, when it became just the second game in the history of Steam—behind PUBG—to rack up more than two million concurrent players. The peak concurrent player count over the last 24 hours is 344,577, according to Steam Charts, a significant dropoff but, let's be honest, still the kind of number that most developers would kill for (and one that Pocketpair doesn't seem too worried about). It remains firmly ensconced near the top of Steam's most-played games chart, currently wedged between PUBG and the surging action RPG Last Epoch.
