Tweet by @Palworld_EN on X (formerly known as Twitter)

There are a few different ways that you can keep your eyes on the concurrent player count for Palworld, especially if you’re interested in seeing how many people are playing the Steam version of the game in particular. If you have an X (formerly known as Twitter) account, you can follow the official Palworld X account, as they have been keeping fans updated on their historic rise to the top. Only time will tell if they can claim the number one spot at this point, but it is possible.

Update: On January 24, 2024, Palworld broke 2 Million Consecutive Players

This is only the second game in Steam’s history to do so, with PUBG breaking over 3.2 Million concurrent players

You can also check sites like SteamDB, which keeps track of concurrent players in the game, as well as historic numbers that show how many players were in the game previously. As of the time of this writing, Palworld has broken the 1.8 million marker and currently has over 1.2 million active players in the game. Pocketpair is currently in second place of all time, following PUBG with over 3.2 million, and leading Counter Strike 2.

For a game hailed solely as “Pokemon with Guns”, these numbers reflect what players seemingly love about the game. Offering rich crafting and a massive world to explore, it’s easy to see why this many players are consistently returning to Palworld. No matter if you’re searching for Daedream, or just want to build a massive base with creatures that will do all of your bidding, there are plenty of things to do here.

While it may be adorable on the exterior, Palworld does have a fairly sadistic side. Find out how to butcher your Pals, and see what other mysteries await you within the world before you by checking out our Palworld section below.
