Additionally, it also claimed the title of the most-played third-party day one launch on Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Ultimate, further demonstrating its strong presence across various platforms.
Despite these remarkable achievements, Palworld shows no signs of slowing down. Developer Pocket Pair has already outlined an exciting roadmap that promises new Pals, challenging raid bosses, and more. Furthermore, the Xbox Wire post confirms that the developers are actively working on implementing cross-play, providing an even more immersive gaming experience for its dedicated fanbase.
The support from Xbox doesn't end there, as the platform is committed to assisting Palworld with dedicated servers and performance improvements. This partnership ensures that players can enjoy the game seamlessly and without any technical hiccups.
While Palworld's record-breaking success has made headlines, it is just the beginning. Gamers still have a lot to look forward to, with a multitude of upcoming Game Pass games slated for release.
