Palworld officially surpassed Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s all-time player total

One of the biggest sensations in 2024 (and in gaming history), Palworld, has crossed 25 million players in a single month, developers shared on social media. By doing so, the Pokémon-inspired game has beaten out Nintendo’s major entry in the franchise, Scarlet and Violet.

Palworld developers celebrated the game’s first month on X (formerly Twitter) on Feb. 22 by sharing the news that their action-survival title has garnered over 25 million players across Steam and Xbox. The former carried around 15 million players, while Microsoft’s platform brought in over 10 million players to 2024’s biggest game. In the same tweet, the developers vouched to continue supporting the game, primarily focusing on eradicating cheaters and bugs, and thanked the Palworld community for their overwhelming support.
