It’s the trendy game. Never has a third-party game gathered so many players on Game Pass (7 million), and on Steam they are still amazed by the 12 million units sold in just over a week. That’s why scams are multiplying.
Palworld debuted as an early access game on January 19th for the Steam and Xbox platforms, and has exploded in success on Steam, selling over 12 million copies on the platform.
Originally intended to be Pokemon with weapons, Palworld ended up being released to the market and felt more like a RUST or an ARK, but with Pokémon elements.
Beware of mobile versions: they are a scam
Now, Palworld developer Pocketpair has just issued a warning to players that there is no official mobile version of Palworld, and that any listing using the name or images of Palworld is not affiliated with Pocketpair.
Pocketpair also warns against installing any of these games and is working with Google and Apple to prevent clones of the game from reaching the stores of these operating systems.
Pocketpair also warns Palworld players that downloading any of these unaffiliated applications can result in personal information leakage or fraud.
At the time of writing this article, Palworld is only available on Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. The Xbox One version is very rough, as reported by Digital Foundry here.
If you want to play it, it seems that the PC version on Steam is the best version of the game right now, what we don’t know is if it’s a strategy to sell more copies of the game or if the developers don’t control the Xbox ecosystem. Have you played Palworld yet?
