Palworld more played than BG3, CP2077, and every Sony game combined

A measly Xbox console exclusive that looks like a Kinect game and a Game Pass release no less is outranking the supposed pinnacles of excellence in gaming seeming rather effortlessly. Perhaps this is what they meant by Xbox Game Pass cannibalizing games.

Normally I'd disregard uncontextualized superficial snapshot logic of Steam Charts, but since the gaming world thrives on it, I thought it'd be nice try out that old time'y adage "when in Rome..."

These were all just taken just moments ago:

And there it is, it speaks for itself.

Not surprising an adult Pokémon game is successful, it's not like Nintendo would never make a game for adults, let alone a Pokémon one.

And seeing the player lists for some of Sony's biggest games is embarrassing, makes you wonder why some of the biggest Hermits on here cry for Sony's games went hardly any hermits play them lol.

Can we all just appreciate the fact that BG3, a turnbased mostly sp niche game, still have 168k active players 5 months after it’s official release??? It’s such a beast!

No idea what a Palworld is, but good for it to highly successful upon release I guess!?

So you are comparing an early access game which released yesterday to games that were released last year where their major market is on another platform? Of course it is going to get a big market on day one - come back in a month and we will see whether it is still doing big business then.

The OP hasn't even tried to be rational. At least my troll thread had some humour in it but we know the mods will leave this one open.

Your boy wenzen uses Steam charts for Halo Infinite all the time when it released years ago and its main audience is on console, so the OP is just returning the favour of sorts, no need to cry about it.

It's about games has a ton of info, and best of all makes fun of Sony's games, so it's a legit SW thread.

What thread of yours got locked? was it the dumb comparing lems to NFL teams thread, if so, it was right to be locked, no need to cry about it.

@last_lap: I am just playing the game and rising to his fishing. Doesn't mean this thread isn't pointless.

Not bothered at my thread being closed as I had predicted who would close it beforehand - and I knew it would be - and I was right. Call it a social experiment if you like.

The OP even admits in his OP that he is trolling. And yes, that is funny in a way - but still deserves the same treatment as I got.

There's one BIG difference between your thread and this one. This one is attacking PC and Sony games. Yours was directly attacking lems, and that's not allowed, it's pretty simple.

Yours was deserving of a lock this one doesn't and i'm sure one of the mods will confirm that by leaving this one open for all of SW to have a good laugh at.

if you're on PC, worth knowing that once again the gamepass version is outdated, so the better version is on Steam and there's no crossplay. EA title so they most likely push the updates out when they are ready, not when ever the console makers deem them worthy to have passed certs

Yeah this game is highlighting a real problem with PC GamePass. It’s an outdated build with features missing and no multiplayer with Steam PC players. PC GamePass folks are getting a real nerfed version of Palworld. I’m sure Pocketpair doesn’t mind though. Theres plenty of folks I’ve seen online that tried to PC GamePass version and then purchased the game on Steam. I’m sure Xbox didn’t intend for their service to be a demo program for Steam

They are EXTREMELY insecure and at the moment Sony is literally doing NOTHING lol.

1. I'm glad Xbox fans have a game they can be proud of to list by name instead of hiding the generic I'm playing GAMEPASS response.

2. There must have some internal trauma about Sony games and xbox lack of quality content in comparison to lash out with threads like this celebrating a game they would bash to hell if it had Sony name associated.

I'm loving palworld's success. The game has overloaded Epic's bandwidth on EGS.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/palworld/epic-games

And Pokemon fans are in a bigger uproar than zelda fans when Genshin Impact was announced. Apparently, a pokemon game that looks/plays/runs better than an actual pokemon game is unacceptable.

It has very high Steam reviews (9/10), and Steam gamers can be quite fickle. Apparently it's actually good for those who like this Pokemon style stuff.

PC beat PS5 in revenue for 2023, and at GS and MC for high scoring games library count. At DF it won graphics king as well (top 3 spots actually).

Every new major trend in gaming usually starts from PC. This is just another one. From CRPG, to FPS, to online gaming, to MMO, to MOBA, to Esports, to Battle Royales, to Survival, to Minecraft builder style, to PalWorld. PC is god. PC is king.

Yeah, I don't really think there's any insecurities coming from the PC side. For a PC gamer who can afford a 3K rig I don't really think a $500 cut corner console is really out of their reach to obtain if they wanted it lol.

Yup. If I wanted to play games at 1080p upscaled to 1440p just to get 50-60fps with lower settings as well I'd buy a crappy PS5.

Palworld may very well be the best thing to happen to Xbox in a long time but, using PC stats from Steam (not GamePass btw) is laughable.

YAY finally some good news for Lems to celebrate. With xbox console sales numbers tanking , and GP sub numbers in a dumpster fire somewhere, at least they have something to be happy about. Congrats Lems, you all really deserve this news.

Great numbers for Palworld, could have included the paltry Starfield numbers as well and PW would still be higher. BG3 still hitting over 200k concurrent this far after release is wild.

It just goes to show how desperate people are for fun, new, creative IP's that aren't the same routine stuff we get these days.

Whether or not the game is successful or not in the long-term doesn't really matter, it's this initial interest that publishers and developers need to learn from.

We absolutely can appreciate it! And it's an independent game, too! Suck it, AAA publishers.

Wow, its peak numbers are almost at BG3 levels. That's impressive. Maybe I should check it out.

Meanwhile, equally impressive: BG3 has almost 200,000 concurrent players 5 months after launch. For a game that has no live service component or DLC, that's phenomenal.

Just played a couple hours. Pretty fun game. Would be a solid survival-crafting game on its own right, but the addition of the pals just takes it to another level.

Keep in mind it's in "early access" still, so it is not feature complete. Already a quality product, though.

👆 see, he gets it

I dunno what wasn't clear in the OP:

Normally I'd disregard uncontextualized superficial snapshot logic of Steam Charts, but since the gaming world thrives on it, I thought it'd be nice try out that old time'y adage "when in Rome..."

And it's not even so much people like hardwenzen post crap like this and me just throwing it in there faces. Gaming news outlets publish hatchet job crap like this so people like hardwenzen can post it within places like this. If crap like that goes unchecked in gaming press, I'm not really stooping to any level that hasn't been passively accepted by gaming professionals as 💯 legit.
