Palworld has now eclipsed Counter-Strike 2's all-time concurrent player record to take ꦯthe number two spot on Steam's list of most concurrent players ever.

Earlier today, January 23, P🐼alworld developer Pocketpair announced that the new action-RPG had surpassed 1.85 million players a꧃t once on Steam. This is a huge milestone, because according to the statistics from Steam just below, this takes it beyond Counter-Strike 2's all-time concurrent player record, a major feat.

Palworld is now sitting pretty as the second biggest-ever game on Steam in terms of concurrent players, only behind Playerunknown's Baཧttlegrounds, which takes the top spot with a mind-bo🧔ggling 3.2 million players at once. Palworld has its work cut out if it wants to take the top spot from PUBG.

Just yesterday in fact, we reported how Palworld had eclipsed 1,582,482 million concurrent p🎃layers on Steam, which effectively made it a bigger Steam launch than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077. Considering those ꦿtwo games are from world-renowned developers, Palworld's really pulled off the impossible here.

Back when Palworld fi🔴rst reached one million concurrent players, it became just the sixth game ꧋to ever achieve the feat on Steam. Interestingly enough, it actually beat Cyberpunk 2077 to the punch💧 with that milestone. 

What's more, Palworld is still in early access. When the game's theoretical 1.0 launch eventually rolls around at some point in the future, we could see this concurrent player count eclipsed, assu✱min𒊎g Pocketpair can keep its player base coming back for more until then.
