Palworld has shifted over 5,000,000 copies in just three days, and has rapidly become the hot topic of the gaming world.
Already, PocketPair’s survival-crafting release has the second highest ever concurrent player count for any paid game on Steam, second only to PUBG before it went free-to-play. In our Early Access review, GAMINGbible’s Dan awarded Palworld an eight, writing, “It’s astonishing how much has been packed into Palworld given its Early Access status. Sure, the developers will probably expand the world, [...] but what we have here is already great, and features so many small details that you’ll be amazed at what you discover. It’s a little rough around the edges in places, but the blueprint and starting product are more than enough to keep you going.” It’s not all sunshine and rainbows for Palworld though despite its clear and evident success.
Take a look at Palworld in action below.
Advert
Players have already encountered their fair share of bugs in Palworld, with developer PocketPair admitting that they have over 50,000 player reports to sift through. Devs are hard at work fixing and patching bugs where possible but players have been warned to avoid one item in particular in the meantime. The item in question is the ‘Memory Reset Drug’.
As reported by TechRaptor, devs raised issues related to the item on Palworld’s Discord server. The ‘drug’ is intended to reset a player’s status, but an apparent bug attached to it is also reducing players’ capture power in a way that’s said to be “impossible to recover”. It’s believed to affect both Xbox and Steam players.
There is some good news though. PocketPair has submitted a patch update to Microsoft for the Xbox version of the game. “We have submitted a patch for Xbox that addresses some of the issues that have been reported,” they wrote. “However, the patch can not be issued until it passes the Microsoft certification process.” Hang in there folks. Fixes are coming.
