Popularised by players as “Pokémon with guns”, the unexpected smash hit video game, Palworld, racked up over 8 million downloads within six days of its release on January 19, reaching almost 25 million downloads within a month. Produced by Japanese game developer Pocket Pair, Palworld’s clever mash-up of monster-catching, the adorable animated designs of the “pals”, and other features unique to the game have gone down well with players.
