Just a few days after its release, Palworld has gained immense popularity, selling over seven million copies. The game has also gained recognition from players on the list of most popular games on Steam. Palworld has now set a new record, surpassing CS2 and claiming the second spot on Valve’s platform.
According to Palworld X’s official account (formerly known as Twitter), the game currently holds the second position among the most played games on Steam. As per the data, the concurrent player count reached a record-breaking level of 1,853,216.
Previously, Counter-Strike 2 occupied the second spot on the list, which is a continuation of the popular game CS:GO. Palworld surpasses it by 34,443 players!
It’s worth noting that Palworld not only surpassed CS2 but also defeated popular games like Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Lost Ark. Currently, Palworld is only a few million players away from reaching the first spot and surpassing Krafton’s PUBG. The game currently has 1.2 million concurrent players, and reaching three million will take a considerable amount of time.
This is an incredible achievement, considering that most games in the top ten on SteamDB are full versions or free games. Palworld achieved this in early access, which is not easy.
However, it’s important to mention that the game has also faced controversies. Many people have noticed obvious similarities to Pokémon and have accused the developers of copying ideas from Game Freak. There have also been allegations regarding the use of artificial intelligence in game development. Nonetheless, it is an impressive accomplishment.
