Palworld’s Server Costs Are Astonishing, But Live Service Experience Is Critical; Pokémon-Like Mod Is Out

Palworld has been topping up the charts regarding player counts, but this has come with a "cost," as the developer Pocketpair reveals that they are spending huge on maintaining servers. The CEO, Takuro Mizobe, revealed the information in a post, exclaiming that Palworld is getting costly to keep the servers online.

Moreover, Takuro joked about the high costs as well, claiming that the firm would go "bankrupt from server fees," although it is highly likely that […]

Palworld First Impressions after 30 Hours – How It Feels to Enslave a Pal

Palworld's been one of those games that has dominated the world due to its unique "premise." Said premise is the cutesy little Pokemon-like Pals wielding guns while you explore a world of wonder. I won't address the discourse surrounding Palworld in this article; I'm here to offer my thoughts on the game after playing it for a few hours. While the Internet is currently deciding whether or not the game has ripped off GameFreak's property, I was busy immersing myself in the game. In other words, I spent a long period playing the game, capturing the creatures, and seeing what […]

Palworld New Mod Enables Ray Tracing, Increases Ambient Occlusion and Shadow Quality

A new Palworld mod that was released online today enables some ray tracing features, improves ambient occlusion and shadow quality and more. The RTX Ray tracing and DirectX12 For Your Pals mod, which can be downloaded from Nexus Mods, is a modified configuration file that enables some ray tracing functions, changes the rendering API to DirectX 12, and improves visuals by increasing native rendering from 100% to 120%, removing fog, increasing quality of the PostFX effects, increasing Anisotropic Filtering to x16 and more.

Palworld Has Sold 8 Million Units on Steam; The Pokémon Company Will ‘Investigate’ the Game

Here's your daily Palworld sales update: the open world survival crafting game with monster collection mechanics has now surpassed eight million units sold on Steam alone in less than a week from the early access launch.

There's still over a million difference between the two, but it would not be wise to discount Palworld at this point. There's not much official data on the Xbox version of the […]
