"Palworld: Pokémon-with-Guns Game Sells 1 Million Copies in 8 Hours, Straining Servers"

Palworld, a monster-catching survival game often described as "Pokémon with machine guns," has sold a million copies in just eight hours, causing server instability due to the large number of concurrent players. The game, available on Steam and Game Pass, features creatures called Pals that can be equipped with guns and used for various tasks, including crafting more weapons. Despite its controversial premise, Palworld has received a very positive reception on Steam and plans to expand its content during its Early Access period.
