There seems to be absolutely no stopping Palworld. It just keeps on growing and pulling in more players with its enticing theme of Pokémon with guns and crafting.
Around two hours ago it hit a new record high of 1,582,482, making it jump above Counter-Strike 2 to take the current top spot for most-played on Steam right now. That's incredibly impressive! Thanks to it now hitting 5 million sales in 3 days, this concurrent player count is also the third highest on Steam ever!

I wouldn't be surprised if it took second place on highest concurrent players ever in the next 24 hours. At the rate it has been increasing, it's pretty much a given at this point. But dethroning PUBG would take more than double what they have right now but never say never right?
The game was bound to be popular — but as much as this? I didn't have that on my 2024 bingo card.
My Steam Deck video on Palworld is below if you missed the update to the previous article:

Have you been playing it? What do you think to Palworld? Let me know in the article comments below. I'm really hoping they add in some UI and Text scaling, it's too small on Steam Deck but just fine on Linux desktop. On Steam Deck it uses Proton Experimental by default and is rated Playable. On Desktop Linux is also works great.
Additionally for people who want to run a Palworld server, the open source tool LinuxGSM (Linux Game Server Manager) just launched version 24.1.0 with Palworld support.
You can buy Palworld on Steam.

Quoting: redneckdrowQuoting: officerniceQuoting: redneckdrowAfter watching Quill18 play this for three hours, I bit the bullet, despite my post-holiday budget being tight.
My name for the game:
Skymon: Personal Mining, Breath of the RimFactorio Saga
Ahhh good old Quill18. I guess I should go see how he's doing. ;)
What could possibly go wrong? :D
Exactly, fellow Archer. :D Hope you'll have a great weekend.
