Palworld gave something to talk about! In a recent interview with Famitsu , Pocketpair , developer of the controversial (and beloved) Palworld, opened up about the challenges they face with the game's sudden success.
- Cell is featured in the new trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
- Fate/Extra Record will be released in 2025 for Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC
With a small Pocketpair team, Palworld exploded right away. The developers admit that they did not expect so much popularity and, of course, they were happy. But in reality, success brought some problems. With so many players online at the same time, multiplayer mode crashed, leaving the servers overloaded.
The interview is also reminiscent of CEO Takuro Mizobe's humorous tweet At the time, the February bill reached 70,530,000 yen (around R$380,000.00), most of which was related to data traffic. The more people connected, the more expensive it gets! The good news is that Pocketpair is already working on optimizing its servers, which will reduce costs and allow the implementation of the long-awaited cross-play (game between platforms).
So despite the challenges, the developers are proud of the multiplayer system. According to them, considering the speed of the launch, the servers remained very stable. The navigation won praise for its ease, with all information available on the same screen (something rare in Japanese games, according to the interview).
Finally, stay tuned for news about cross-play! Meanwhile, Palworld awaits you on Xbox Series X/One, macOS and PC.
