IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Palworld developer Pocketpair will maintain the game’s price at $29.99 for the 1.0 launch on July 10, despite earlier indications that the price might increase.
- The decision to keep the price steady is a gesture of gratitude to the player community, acknowledging Palworld’s success with over 40 million players since its Early Access release.
- Palworld broke sales and concurrent player records at launch and has expanded through a partnership with Sony, including a PS5 release.
- Pocketpair faces a patent lawsuit from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company alleging Palworld’s designs infringe on Pokémon intellectual property, with a judgment expected later this year.
- The 1.0 update will bring extensive changes and new content, and while existing players can keep their save data, the developer recommends starting fresh to fully experience the update.
