Palworld dev celebrates “staggering” Steam response to 1.0, proving lightning can strike twice

It’s safe to say that Palworld has still got the magic. Two and a half years ago, the charming open-world creature collector with sinister undertones skyrocketed its way into the history books, reaching the second-highest player count peak on Steam of all time (a feat only topped since by Black Myth Wukong).
