The game has surpassed the top games on Steam in concurrent players by a lot, even games like BG3 and Elden Ring. Also in a fortunate set of events for them, MS added the game to gamepass day 1 and in fact it became the number 1 game on PC gamepass (surpassing Valorant and so on).
Palworld is a survival game ala Ark, Rust, The Forest, etc, which adds pokemon like creatures, and you can collect them, plus it has some nice ideas, for instance, you can get a pal fox that jumps on your shoulder during combat, and very original stuff like that. Unlike the aforementioned games you can avoid invasions and play privately if you want to, something other games like Ark and similar don't have.
There has been controversy with the game 'cos some people think the game kinda plagiarizes some Pokemon designs, and the pokebros (hardocre pokemon fans) remain vigilant trying to find comparisons between pokemon and this game so they can sue them. Also things like this....
