The super popular survival game Palworld has lost almost all of its players

 In January of this year, the next survival simulator Palworld was released

with building elements and bosses in a fantasy world. The main distinguishing feature of this project was the mechanics, reminiscent of catching Pokemon, but with firearms. This unusual symbiosis of game elements allowed the project to become the main hit of 2024 with record sales and an impressive number of players. Just over two months after its release, Palworld had lost most of its audience.

At the time of its release, Palworld was the second most-played title on Steam, amassing over 2.1 million users. Today this figure has decreased significantly. According to the analytical portal SteamDB, the game from the Pocketpair studio has lost more than 97% of its active players. Since the beginning of March, the game has attracted about 275,000 users on the servers, but this figure has been decreasing daily, and today the peak number is only 69,850 people in 24 hours.

Losing a core base of active players is something to be expected, even for a hugely popular game like Palworld. The game's authors responded very quickly to the hype around the project, releasing several important updates and announcing a large-scale support program with new content and improvements. However, this was not enough to maintain high appeal for players who moved on to other new products. Their attention will likely be returned after the release of planned updates for the game.
