Palworld, a game where players capture, enslave, kill, and shoot Pokémon-like creatures, has achieved unprecedented success with over 5 million copies sold and 1.4 million concurrent players on Steam within three days of its early access release. It became the most played and top-selling game worldwide, surpassing major titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring. Palworld sold 1 million copies just hours after launch, reached 3 million copies in 40 hours, and hit 856k concurrent players. Developed on a budget of approximately $7 million, the game is also available on Xbox Game Pass with a co-op restriction of 2-4 players, compared to 32 on Steam. The success of Palworld, often referred to as 'Pokémon with guns', has been a significant topic of discussion regarding the impact of small development teams in the gaming industry.

Lots of takes on why web3 games don’t need large funding to be successful after seeing Palworld’s success While yes, you can be successful without large amounts of capital, the only reason Palworld is trending is because of how much of a unicorn it is

Palworld is what like 20 web3 games are trying to create and it only took them $7m to make it and sell 3,000,000 copies Yes web3 has a long way to go but this is a clear indicator that it doesn’t take $50m to build an incredible game people want to play
