Palworld announced it has surpassed 40 million players and is transitioning out of Early Access with its version 1.0 release on July 10. The game launched in January 2024 as an early access title, offering an open‑world survival‑crafting experience combined with creature collection. Since launch, the developer reported selling more than 6 million copies within the first four days, while the title has been available day one on Xbox Game Pass. The upcoming 1.0 update is expected to include more than 27 pages of fixes and additions, though full patch notes have not yet been released. PocketPair said the milestone marks a significant achievement for the title as it moves to a full release and indicated ongoing support and content updates will continue after launch.
