Palworld is already a giant hit, but that may be underselling just how massive this Pokemon-meets-survival game has become just days after launch. Measured by concurrent player count, it's become the third-biggest game in Steam history, and achieved the biggest launch the platform has ever seen.
As of this writing, Palworld has reached a peak concurrent player count of 1,582,482 on Steam (as shown by SteamDB), just three days after launch. That massive number doesn't even include any Xbox, Microsoft Store, or Game Pass players. This gives Palworld the third-highest concurrent player peak in the history of Steam, just behind CS:GO/Counter-Strike 2 (1,818,773) and PUBG: Battlegrounds (3,257,248).
