Palworld Devs Address Rampant Server Instability, Fix Underway

Palworld is the latest hit in the gaming scene, and many players have divulged their attention towards—what is being described as— Pokemon with guns-type survival.

The devs have addressed the situation on Twitter and clarified that the overwhelming number has caused the servers to become unstable.

Currently, the studio has advised the community to try reconnecting to the servers 2-3 times or waiting patiently for a while after launching the action-adventure title.

All in all, the team has also appreciated the fans for showing massive support. Palworld was released to early access on January 19, 2024, for Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC. It quickly gathered over 400K active concurrent players on Steam in only a few hours after launch. The figure is still rising, so it is difficult to tell just how many players will flood the game servers to survive and co-exist alongside Pals.
