At one point the studio expected roughly the same from Palworld.
This peak never really stopped, it just kept going.
People always ask us, ‘Why?
How did you get so much attention?’
We don’t know.
For Pocketpair, the initial realization that Palworld would become something special came on launch night.
“We had an office, but very few people went to the office.
But everyone went on launch day.
So we launched the game, went over to the vending machine, and started drinking.
The Epic servers have crashed.
That’s when things started to get weird.”
“And this was basically split over Steam and Xbox, which were our two platforms at that time.
Again, why did we get this many players?
I don’t know, like don’t ask me.
I know someone will ask me after, but I promise you we don’t know the answer.
It really was unbelievable, and just seeing this today still kind of freaks me out.
Regardless, Palworld has been an enduring success, having recently topped 32 million players.
Just don’t ask Pocketpair how that happened.
