"Palworld: The Surprising Steam Success Outshining Pokémon Legends"

Palworld, an open world survival crafting game with monster collection mechanics, has sold over 7 million units on Steam alone in just five days since its early access launch, outselling Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Priced at €26, the game has managed to knock down Counter-Strike 2 from the second place on the all-time concurrent player chart on Steam, registering 1.86 million concurrent players. Nintendo has taken down a Pokémon mod created by modders due to design similarities, but it remains to be seen if their lawyers will pursue legal action against Palworld.
