It's been about a year since Pocketpair released it's outlandish combination of monster-catching, survival, and third-person shooter.

Developer Pocketpair announced that Palworld had surpassed 32 million players within its first year of launch. The figure covers gamers across all platforms, including Steam, PS5, and Xbox.

Palworld has now surpassed 32 million players a year after release, though lawsuits filed by Nintendo remain unresolved.

As always, your support means the world to us!” “We will continue to work hard to make Palworld year 2 even better!”

It's been a little bit over a year now since Palworld arrived in Early Access, with developer Pocketpair announcing how well it's done along with another patch out now.

Palworld's community manager thanked fans for their support and promised that the team will "continue to work hard to make Palworld year two even better!" There are a lot of updates coming to Palworld as part of its future roadmap, including co-op cross-play, new endgame content, new pals, and more.

Look, Pocketpair has got a lot going on right now. Just last month the team released Palworld 's 2025 roadmap as the game was prepping to celebrate 1 year since "release." That roadmap features some ambitious plans for co-op cross play, collaborations, and the ability to transfer your Pals across worlds. And that's just scratching the surface.
