Palworld topped over 850,000 players on Steam over the weekend
If it wasn't already Steam's third most-concurrently played game of all-time, the peak would be enough to become the 14th most-concurrently played title on the platform.

Perhaps Pocketpair is trying to appease Nintendo, with whom they have long been at odds over alleged similarities to Pokémon.
The 1.0 launch has seen players returning to the game in their hundreds of thousands.
40 million players and two and a half years later, the Early Access period has finally ended and the game is officially finished.
The cost of the game is being retained at $29.99.
And it hasn't even launched into 1.0 yet.
The developer also suggests starting the game fresh too when the update arrives.
The lawsuit is expected to come to a close this November.
So far we've only seen a cinematic trailer, so the content of version 1.0 remains a mystery.
Publishing head John Buckley: "It really depends on what we can do with the game at the moment, how we can expand it without it feeling boring."
Pocketpair is offering yet another way to interact with their pals, in a strategy that seems handpicked from the Pokémon playbook.
It turns out we can look forward to a Ultrakill collaboration for some new skins, which we get to check out in a new trailer.
One of the claimed patent infringements has been rejected by Japan's patent office, and Nintendo either has to drop it or try to modify it.
Pocketpair claims there is "something mysterious is lurking in the shadows" but won't tell us what it is... yet...
Anyone else forget this game was still in Early Access?
"This would be something that has stuck with us to this very day, despite our best efforts to shake that off."
Pokémon with guns was a concept that drew more ire than Pocketpair was expecting.
11 new Achievements clearly show that more features are coming to the game.
Pocketpair Publishing wants you to know it's funding other great games.
We don't yet have a firm date for the feature's arrival however.
Around seven million new players have come to the game over the past 12 months.
Despite a final boss and ending scenario being on the roadmap, the plans for Palworld go even beyond an ending.
Expansive roadmap ahead and some real world challenges.
Just a couple of hours ago, it reached 212,817 concurrent gamers online on Steam alone.
We have a new trailer to show you.
It's described as the "largest, harshest, and most mysterious" new island yet.
All due to the game missing out at The Game Awards.
The alleged patents infringed by Palworld were filed by TPC months after the game's release.
Palworld's PS5 version finally releases in Japan, ten years after its worldwide launch.
Krafton will develop and publish globally the Palworld mobile version
Another lawsuit against Palworld creator could be coming, but it would be challening for Nintendo
It seems that litigation with Nintendo has blocked the game's release in Japan until everything is cleared up.
Pocket Pair has released Palworld as a shadowdrop during the latest State of Play presentation.
But the reason why is unknown and doesn't seem to be related to the Nintendo lawsuit.
"It's like a mafia. They will not kill you instantly. They will let you cook a little bit."
Watch out Nintendo, those Pokémon-like critters have guns.
"Nintendo will continue to take necessary actions against any infringement of its intellectual property rights including the Nintendo brand itself."
Its future may instead lie with paid DLCs.
No shortcuts were apparently used to bring your favourite Pals to life.
They're only available in select regions currently.
This will include global licensing and merchandising activities.
Turns out Pokémon fans might be the only people thinking Palworld had bootleg Pokémon.
Pocketpair's community manager seems to be teasing it.
We're getting more of pretty much everything.
Pocket Pair is one of the confirmed companies that will be at Summer Game Fest and it seems like the fans might be in for a treat.
You can fight yourself or with Pals against online rivals.
From those glory days in January, only a few faithful remain.
But that regardless the developer will remain a small studio.
They can even be yours in new sweepstake.
It's still most popular on Steam, but Xbox isn't far behind.
