Palworld's freefall continues

After an impressive start that surprised everyone, including its makers, Palworld has stalled. Until the end of February, the game that launched in early access on January 19th had managed to sell more than 15 million units and break the 2,1 million concurrent users barrier. 

Still in early access, Palworld is now down to a mere 11,644 players, with a maximum for the day of 26,537. These figures only manage to put it in 80th place in Steam's top 100 most-played games. The first five names in the list are Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, Apex Legends, PUBG, and World of Warships.

Palworld received its latest update earlier this week. The version labeled 0.2.4.0 is most likely the last step before the big summer refresh that will come with a new island, bosses, and Pals. Palworld 0.2.4.0, on the other hand, is mostly about bug fixes and balance changes, without any noticeable new content. 

Last but not least, once Palworld hits GeForce Now, the numbers could improve for Pocket Pair's action-adventure, survival, and monster-taming title nicknamed "Pokémon with guns" thanks to the renewed exposure. Speaking of Pokémon, Amazon is currently offering the Pokémon Battle Academy Board Game with a 10% discount that takes it from $14.40 to $12.99.
