Given the fact that it’s taken the world by storm, it’s hard to believe that Palworld has only been out for one week. That’s the truth though and to celebrate the end of seven wildly successful days, PocketPair has just dropped a fresh update.
It hasn’t been plain sailing for Palworld. The game has faced accusations of plagiarism and AI usage, the former due to its similarity to Pokémon. While no concrete evidence has yet been made available, The Pokémon Company has said that it’ll investigate. In happier news though, Palworld has now amassed over 8,000,000 players.

Sure, the developers will probably expand the world, add in more Pals, and grow the story, too. But what we have here is already great, and features so many small details that you’ll be amazed at what you discover. It’s a little rough around the edges in places, but the blueprint and starting product are more than enough to keep you going.” Well, devs have already started looking to the game’s future.

Devs finished by adding that they will continue to place “top priority” on fixing major issues,
