Palworld was released at the end of last week, and it's already a massive success. After its first three days, Palworld sold 4 million copies and had over a million concurrent players online on Steam alone…
Pocketpair's new game is taking the gaming world by storm. In the first 8 hours after release, Palworld sold 1 million copies, increasing to 2 million after the first 24 hours since its release. However, it didn't stop there as the game kept selling very well, garnering 3 million copies in 40 hours. The last milestone the developer shared was at 4 million copies, which took just three days to achieve. Moreover, it also shared that, at a point, the game was selling 86,000 units an hour.

Considering the game is only available on PC (Steam and Windows Store) and Xbox Series X|S, that's very impressive. However, it's also worth noting that the game is available on Xbox Game Pass (PC, cloud, and console), which might inflate sales numbers depending on how the developer counts sold copies.
As if the number of copies sold and how fast it's reaching these milestones weren't impressive enough, the game had peaked at almost 1.3 million concurrent players on Steam alone (according to SteamDB). That puts it at the fifth highest concurrent player count of all time on Steam, just behind PUBG: Battlegrounds, Counter-Strike 2, Lost Ark, and Dota 2.
