The overnight sensation game that took the internet by storm with its early access release on January 19, Palworld, has already risen to the very top of Steam charts both in terms of concurrent players and copies sold, breaking multiple records at once. So far, in just 5 days since its launch, Palworld has amassed over seven million copies sold on Steam alone, and it has surpassed two million concurrent players on a weekday, meaning its incredible numbers may not even be done growing. This level of success may seem unprecedented, but there have been similar cases in the past, with one of the most notable being Hogwarts Legacy - and Palworld may be set on the same trajectory as the Wizarding World game, for better or for worse.
