Palworld refuses to hear about the console war: "Nobody cares"

Do you know when it made sense to talk about a “console war”? When it actually mattered to someone. This is something that Palworld’s community manager, Bucky, knows very well, as he responded frankly to a Twitter post that compared the success of their game with the failure of Helldivers 2. In the conversation, it was mentioned that Palworld reached a peak of 84,961 concurrent players, while Helldivers 2 only reached 23,794. Despite the figures, Bucky emphasized that both games had a solid performance at their launch last year.

War of Nonsense

Bucky clarified that Palworld never signed an exclusivity agreement, and the decision not to develop a version for PS5 was simply because it was not initially considered. Although the controversy over console wars has resurfaced in 2025, Bucky criticized the practice of “baiting” or provocation, pointing out that there is no point in getting involved in such discussions. “No one cares about this fake discourse, except you”, expressed the community manager in a tweet, indicating his frustration with the use of Palworld in these dynamics.

But if you are interested in these things, you should know that a market research report suggests that Nintendo could be the “clear winner” of the next generation of consoles, with Sony and Microsoft competing for second place. This provides additional context about the future of the market, where development decisions and audiences are increasingly fluctuating.

Bucky admitted that, despite knowing he shouldn’t interact with provocative posts, he often feels tempted to respond due to his active presence on Twitter. This situation highlights not only the competition between platforms but also the passion of developers and gaming communities in a constantly evolving video game environment. Well, that and the fact that some time after its release, Palworld is still being talked about by everyone.
