Palworld reached 489,007 concurrent players on Steam following its 1.0 launch on PC and consoles. The game surpassed Dota 2 but trailed Counter-Strike 2 at the time of reporting.
The title achieved an 855,525 one-day peak, marking its highest concurrent count since early access. This placed it second on Steam behind only Counter-Strike 2.
Forbes writer Paul Tassi noted the rarity of such relaunch numbers. Asian markets contributed to the figures during off-peak hours in the United States and Europe.
Palworld sold over 25 million copies by September 2025. The developer kept the price unchanged at launch and offered a limited 30 percent discount.
