Palworld Community Manager under the nickname Bucky commented on the fall of online survival, which has attracted the media in recent days.
In particular, the peak of online new products in Steam fell from 2.1 million users to 512 thousand players. However, this, apparently, does not frighten the creators:
In May 2023, I was confident that Palworld would be able to reach a peak online of 50 thousand people. Anything beyond that seemed unattainable, and I never expected the game to reach an audience of millions.
It has taken years to reach its current stage and Palworld is really only just beginning its journey. Everyone is working very hard on fixing bugs and preparing new content and Palov. Some of you may have thought that the last three weeks of entertainment have been enough and put the game aside. This is fine.
The manager considers stories like “Palworld is losing its audience” to be quite “lazy” – this situation is normal for this type of game, where the authors cannot release a huge amount of new content every week.
New items will definitely appear, but the authors will need additional time to add them.
There are many great games to try; You don’t have to feel guilty about switching from one creation to another.
If you’re still playing Palworld, we love you. If you’re not playing already, we still love you and hope you come back for round two when you’re ready.
Previously, the creators of Palworld complained about the lack of employees, since it turned out to be very difficult to support a new product with such an influx of players.
The survival game itself dropped to fourth place in the latest Steam chart, and Helldivers 2 became the new leader. But Palworld is still in demand, including among representatives of the industry itself – it was recently mentioned at an Xbox meeting.
