Palworld: Active Player Count Drops, but Developer Remains Unconcerned

Palworld developer defends game-hopping fans, criticizes player count backlash

The popular game Palworld initially attracted over two million active players on Steam within two weeks of its launch, marking impressive success. However, the player count has recently decreased significantly. Despite this, Bucky, the community manager for Pocketpair’s games including Palworld, reassures players that there is no cause for alarm or guilt.

Bucky considers the reports highlighting the game’s approximately 70 percent decline in active users on Steam as “lazy.” It is essential to clarify that his statement is not meant to criticize the authors of those articles specifically. Instead, it aims to emphasize that Palworld was not designed to retain players in the same manner as live-service games.
