Palworld entered Early Access to the tune of over 300,000 concurrent players

This is what an open-world pokemon game should have been. Not the buggy disappointing mess GameFreak gave us for 2 generations.

I mean, maybe. But if you’re not a AAA studio just not having (or realistically, enabling from a cloud provider) enough capacity when your game sells way more copies than expected is entirely reasonable.

Right. This is a no name studio that got hit with 700,000 concurrents. Some server problems are too be expected. If it bothers you that much, run your own server.

Edit: Actually looking at steam history. It’s 1.3 MILLION concurrents.
