Palworld has come a long, long way from its somewhat dubious pre-launch just two weeks ago when the developers felt it necessary to clarify that the game wasn't a scam. Since then, it's surpassed Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Elden Ring to become the biggest Steam launch in history, and is now inching toward PUBG's world record for highest concurrent player count.
On Wednesday, developer Pocket Pair released some new stats that prove the ethically questionable creature catcher survival game is somehow, some way, even bigger than we previously thought. In a tweet, Pocket Pair shared the startling statistic that Palworld has now been played by a total of an astounding 19 million players across Steam and Xbox.
