Palword, the upcoming open world survival and crafting game which the internet has dubbed ‘Pokémon with guns’, is already seeing some impressive player numbers on Steam – to the detriment of its servers.
At the time of writing, a bumper 352,361 potential Pal catchers are making their way through the game’s colourful, eclectic and perhaps slightly dubious world. (I recently learned you can catch and sell humans.)
Palworld developer Pocketpair has said that the game is proving so popular, its servers are struggling to keep up.
