Japanese developer Pocket Pair has announced Palworld topped 25 million players within a month of its release, a staggering milestone for the sandbox action game.

Palworld has topped 25 million players within a month of release, and with the game still in early access. The PC (via Steam) version topped 15 million players and the Xbox version topped 10 million players.

The new milestone has cemented Palworld as a more popular monster-catching game than the most recent Pokemon release, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

At the time of writing, the Steam user reviews for the game are “very positive” with an overall supportive rate of 94%.

Pocket Pair is currently working on addressing issues like bugs, as well as implementing new features while working towards the full release.

Palworld was released back in January 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is also on Xbox Game Pass.
