When 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Palworld launched in January 2024, developer Pocketpair had just one employee overseeing the servers – which were quickly fl♉attened under the w꧂eight of 2.1 million players on Steam alone.

"He was trying his best," Palworld global community manager John Buckley tells . At the time, the game's entire dev team was just 35 people, and that's with external developers included. None of them expected the runaway start that made Palworld the third-biggest Steam launch of all time, to say nothing of the Xbox audience which broke 7 million total players by the end of January, and nobody on this planet is ever truly prepared for a launch of this size. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Big online games always break for a reason.

Palworld's player count quickly blitzed p♍ast 100,000 aft😼er the game went live, and that's when the technical problems started to compound. "Throughout the night it kept going," Buckley recalls. "And there was a point, definitely after midnight because a few of us had gone home who lived far away, that the servers broke. That was around a million."

Server host 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games worked with Pocketpair to help stabilize the game, and despite some connection and lag iss💖ues, Palwor🐭ld was generally playable for most players outside its absolute lowest dips. "It was a lot of intense lag, but Epic was amazing," Buckley says. "They super quickly allocated more resources to us and they helped out."

Recently, Pocketpair has been wrangling a different Palworld problem: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a Nintendo lawsuit which has already seen the dev issue two updates that seem to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:quietly distance the hit survival game from the patent infringements alleged by Nintendo. Capturing and deploying Pals works a bit differently now, but the game is largely the sa💟me mix of survival-craft shooting under the hood.

Despite Nintendo's Palworld lawsuit rumbling on in the background, developer Pocketpair releases its old roguelike card game on the Switch.
