The promise of \u2018Pok\u00e9mon with guns\u2019 was hard to ignore, even if the game itself is a lot more about exploring and base building than you may have expected.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ll do our best to work it out!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Palworld sales explained: How many people are playing and paying?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the official post below, we know that\u00a0<strong>Palworld has already sold 6 million copies<\/strong>, just four days on from its launch into early access.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, the developers confirmed that the game has reached a new peak player count of <strong>1.7 million\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-server-status\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Palworld?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Palworld<\/a> has sold over 6 million copies in only 4 days!<br\/>Our all-time peak player count has also surpassed 1.7 million.<br\/><br\/>Thank you very much!!<br\/><br\/>Some users are experiencing problems and bugs, which we are addressing with the highest priority.<br\/><br\/>Thanks for your support! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/j1CGWW52Rr\">pic.twitter.com\/j1CGWW52Rr<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Palworld (@Palworld_EN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Palworld_EN\/status\/1749674695560208888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"\/>\n<p>What does 6 million sales mean in actual money?<\/p>\n<p>Well, bear in mind that Palworld currently costs \u00a322.49 GBP on <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1623730\/Palworld\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you multiply that number by 6 million, you get <strong>\u00a3134,940,000<\/strong>. So we can safely say, accounting for exchange rates and discounts, that Palworld has probably made well over \u00a3100 million.<\/p> <p>What\u2019s particularly impressive is that Palworld is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/xbox-game-pass-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Xbox Game Pass<\/a> subscription service, but this doesn\u2019t seem to have stopped people from forking out to buy the game properly en masse.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the official social media post refers to copies sold, rather than subscription players!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sure there will be more impressive stats to come in the days ahead, so we\u2019ll be sure to update this page when we hear more about the Palworld sales numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more on Palworld:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-best-starters-pals-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld starters<\/a> \u2014 best early game Pals<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-breeding-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld breeding explained<\/a> \u2014 how to breed<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-pc-requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld PC requirements<\/a> \u2014 can you run it?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-platforms-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Will Palworld come to PS4 and Switch?<\/a> Platforms explained<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-server-status\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld server status<\/a> \u2014 how to check<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palword-multiplayer-crossplay-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld multiplayer explained<\/a> \u2014 is it crossplay?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-achievements-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld achievements<\/a> \u2014 the full list<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-reviews-round-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Palworld reviews<\/a> \u2014 our round-up<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/palworld-release-date\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Is Palworld on Game Pass?<\/a> Key details<\/li>\n<\/ul> <div class=\"brightcove embed\"> <div class=\"embed__intrinsic\"> <div class=\"brightcove__player vjs-playlist-player-container\"> <video data-video-id=\"6342585545112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"default\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"video-js\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js\"\/> <p><strong>Listen to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/one-more-life-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One More Life podcast<\/a> and subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gaming newsletter<\/a> for all the latest intel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
