From the peak of 1,864,421 concurrent players that was reached on January 23rd, the latest smashing hit of the gaming world, Palworld, is now above the 2,000,000 limit for the first time. However, more than 1,200,000 players still separate it from PUBG, which could lose the crown before the end of the month if Palworld continues its stellar climb.

Yesterday, the roadmap for Palworld has been unveiled and it certainly looks promising. The news item posted by Palworld's creators on Steam reveals that the team's efforts are focusing on solving the problems caused by excessive access congestion as well as various bugs. The new features will come at a date that will be disclosed later.

All the above confirms that this game's sales were much higher than anticipated and, although a good thing, it will lead to a slight delay in the implementation of the upcoming features. The new peak in terms of concurrent players for Palworld is 2,018,905 and the only value left to beat is PUBG's impressive 3,257,248. However, based on the values for the last 24 hours, Palworld can be already considered the undisputed leader of the Steam multiplayer realm, since none of its competitors managed to hit the 1,000,000 mark.

This game's list of planned updates is quite tempting. Its highlights include PvP, Raid Bosses, Steam-Xbox crossplay, as well as new islands, technologies, a PvP mode for Pals, and more. Earlier this week, Edith R. Cort released a Palworld Unleashed tactical guide that might be a great helper for those getting started with this game. They can find it on Amazon for $6.99, but only in digital format for the time being.
