Palworldhas eclipsed two million concurrent players on Steam, becoming only the second-ever game onValve’s platform to do so.
The other game is, of course, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, and Palworld has a lot of work to do if it wants to beat PUBG’s all-time concurrent player record, which currently stands at just over 3.2 million. Palworld would have to nearly double its concurrent player count to comfortably beat PUBG’s record.
Palworld topped 1.8 million players on Steamearlier this week, making it second on the all-time Steam concurrent players list. It overtook Valve’s Counter-Strike 2 to hit that prestigious second position, and for an early access game like Palworld to beat a renowned FPS sequel was wild.
Speaking of early access,Palworld studio’s CEO thinks it’s about “60% complete"in its current state. This should give players a pretty concrete idea of what to expect for the game’s eventual 1.0 launch, and what’s more, the newly revealedPalworld roadmaphas promised PvP, cross-play, building improvements, and more.
