How Did “Pokémon With Guns”, Palworld Sell Millions of Copies?

Palworld, a newly released game by a Japanese-based studio, is a sensation among many gamers. The game, while being Early Access released on January 18, 2024, has sold more than 5 million copies since its release. Anyone who is out of the gaming scene would ponder. What makes Palworld so good?

What is Palworld?

The game is as basic as it gets, with a simple feature. Palworld is an open-world game where the primary goal of the players is to survive. Players can do various actions to make their survival easier. These include making camps, finding food for survival, and even taming these cute creatures, which the game calls “pals.”

Players get a large map to explore; not only do you have to find resources to help you survive, but you also have to be conscious of other players. This is where Pals come into play; players can tame these creatures and make them do various actions like mining, building, or… giving them machine guns to fight for you.

The game is still in its early access phase, which means that players will play the game as testers for the developers. The devs can then use that data to fix any bugs the players might still be facing, thus making the game a smoother experience. When a game is in Early Access, most players find it doubtful to play the game as they might find bugs annoying. But that doesn’t stop Palworld from being the second-highest-played Game on Steam, according to the Palworld official X account.

What Makes The Game Soo Good?

Selling more than 5 million copies on an Early Access game is no joke. This brings up a question: Why is Palworld so good? What makes it different from other survival games? Well, Palworld did an excellent job of explaining its survival mechanics. It was just 10 minutes in, and people were already getting the hang of it.
