Palworld v0.1.4.0 out now on Steam, also game hits 19 million players

That's almost the population of Romania.

By now, it feels like a lot of us are fit to burst on all things Palworld. However, as Pocketpair sends out another patch to fix a variety of bugs, the game continues to experience more popularity than…well, a very very popular thing.

Version 0.1.4.0 has been rolling out on Steam, with a lot of fixes being implemented. For starters, there’s been an issue where players have been receiving damage twice. This has now been patched out. Also, players will “no longer pass through walls when dismounting.” That was a thing, it seems.

Going forward, expect a lot more Palworld updates. The developer says it’s going to continue development, “placing top priority on fixing major problems and issues.” Given the current state of the game, fans would probably expect nothing less than bug fixes. Oh, also the update for the Xbox version is expected soon.

Not enough people in Ecuador to play

Along with the recent patch, Pocketpair also gave the good word on Twitter/X that the game has experienced more than 19 million players. That’s 12 million on PC and seven million on Xbox. That’s about as much as…a very very large thing (I’m not good at analogies today, it seems).

A few days ago, Palworld smashed through the two million concurrent player mark, according to SteamDB. It’s become one of – if not thefastest-selling game in recent memory. Two weeks. It came out just two weeks ago.

We’re still waiting to hear what Nintendo/The Pokémon Company will turn up in its investigation. For now, Palworld continues to be as huge as…you know what…you can take it from here.
