Palworld Falls Off
Palworld experienced a significant drop in its concurrent player count on Steam within a mere 15 days after reaching its peak on January 28, 2024, with 2,101,867 players. By February 9, 2024, the total concurrent player count dropped to 682,032.

Palworld currently lags behind Counter Strike 2 in concurrent players on Steam. However, this dynamic could shift, especially considering that Palworld is still in Early Access. With Pocketpair promising a slew of improvements and updates, including PvP and crossplay features, there's potential for Palworld to regain millions of concurrent players on Steam.
