You’ve probably already heard that millions of people have already flocked to Palworld. The promise of ‘Pokémon with guns’ was hard to ignore, even if the game itself is a lot more about exploring and base building than you may have expected.

So, what do we know about the Palworld sales numbers? Just how many people are playing the game and paying for it? Keep on reading and we’ll do our best to work it out!

Palworld sales explained: How many people are playing and paying?

The official Palworld account on X (formerly known as Twitter) has provided some updated numbers today (Tuesday 23rd January), so we now have a very good idea of just how many people are paying for and playing Palworld.

Thanks to the official post below, we know that Palworld has already sold 6 million copies, just four days on from its launch into early access.

On top of this, the developers confirmed that the game has reached a new peak player count of 1.7 million — that means a whole lot of people have been jumping into the game at the exact same time, which is sure to be putting a strain on the Palworld servers.
