Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Palworld was set to be on the exhibitors list at the Tokyo Games Show, but it seems that they have now been removed from the list entirely. This choice possibly comes after Nintendo issued a lawsuit, saying that Palworld was infringing on multiple of Nintendo's patents. On the day that the lawsuit was issued, one of the developers tweeted out an emoji while they were at TGS (as stated in their name on X). Still, an official statement has been released on the Palworld social media and the Pocketpair website. According to Pocketpair, they are unaware of what patents they […]
Palworld studio Pocketpair has partnered with Sony Music Entertainment and Sony-owned media company Aniplex to establish Palworld Entertainment Inc. Pocketpair, Sony, and Aniplex announced the joint venture earlier today through an official press release from Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. According to the press release, the joint venture aims to expand the Palworld IP outside of the game itself. "The [joint venture] will be responsible for developing the reach of the intellectual property and for expanding commercial business endeavors, including the global licensing and merchandising activities associated with "Palworld," outside of the interactive game", the press release reads. According to […]
Pocketpair's Global Community Manager Bucky might very well have teased the Palworld PS5 version. The popular 'Pokemon with Guns' game took the world by surprise upon its (early access) release on Xbox and PC in January of this year. At its peak, the title had over 2 million concurrent players on Steam, surpassing all-time player peaks of Counter-Strike 2, Lost Ark, Dota 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Elden Ring. Since then, player numbers have gradually been declining, but at the moment of writing, more than 24.000 players are still playing the title on Steam alone. Microsoft, without a doubt, benefited from […]
After selling over 15 million copies in its first month, the mania around Palworld has cooled a bit. But deep-pocketed competitors have taken notice of the “Pokémon With Guns” survival crafting sim’s overnight success and are trying to copy it, accordi...
Palworld creator Takuro Mizobe has said that his studio is in talks to release the 'Pokemon with Guns' game on more platforms. That's what the CEO of Pocketpair and creator of Palworld said in a new interview with Bloomberg. According to Mizobe, he wants to bring the title to additional platforms beyond Xbox Game Pass and Steam. As also revealed by the CEO, his studio is open to partnerships or acquisitions. Given the huge success on Microsoft's platform (and Microsoft's acquisition spree), many considered the possibility of Pocketpair being acquired by Microsoft as well. This, however, isn't the case for […]
Ever wondered what Pocketpair's Pokemon with Guns game Palworld could have looked like in 2006? An impressive new Palworld Nintendo DS Demake video gives an impression. Palworld has been an amazing success for the Japanese developer across both PC and Xbox. More than 19 million players have played the title since its launch, and more than 12 million copies have been sold through Steam alone (up from its initial 8 million sales within a week). As expected, shortly after the game's launch, modders released actual Pokemon mods for the title, but these were quickly taken out by Nintendo. Afterward, Nintendo-owned […]
Pocketpair has deployed Palworld Update v0.1.5.0 through Steam with the Xbox patch being rolled out soon as well. This brand-new patch allows players to fully customize their keyboard keys. It also resolves an annoying issue that caused the accumulation of unnecessary data in save files. Another welcome change is the implementation of a save data backup on the game's world selection screen. In addition to these changes, this new update also contains various fixes for player issues as well as base issues alongside tweaks to Pals. For instance, the patch addresses a bug where if a large amount of experience […]
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. In a post on X, he disclosed that maintaining the servers has cost the firm a whopping 70 million yen, equivalent to around $475,000. 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 […]
Pocketpair has rolled out a major new Palworld patch via Steam with the update being rolled out on Xbox later on. Last week, the developer already rolled out a small update for the game containing bug fixes and cheating countermeasures. This update was later also deployed for those playing on Game Pass. Fast forward one week, and we now have a major patch for Pocketpair's hit title, containing plenty of bug fixes, key config additions, and more. As mentioned, this update is currently only available through Steam, but will be released on Xbox "as soon as it is ready". This […]
