It was a huge deal for Palworld to surpass Counter-Strike 2 on Steam in all-time peak and active players, and now it’s broken another record. Xbox announced Wednesday that the early access open-world survival game has become the biggest third-party Xbox Game Pass launch in the service’s history.
Palworld has raked in more than 7 million players across Xbox and Windows PC, peaking at nearly 3 million active daily users.
Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe told Xbox Wire, “The response from fans has been tremendous and it’s incredible to see the millions of players around the world enjoying Palworld. This is just the beginning for us and Palworld and the feedback we’re gathering while in Game Preview will allow us to continue to improve the experience for Pal Tamers across all platforms.”
Xbox and Pocketpair are also working on optimizing the game for Xbox platforms, including implementing cross-play. The Xbox Wire article says the team is “working quickly to address it.”
