The developers of Palworld, Pocketpair, have announced that they have resolved the connectivity issue that was preventing some players from hosting co-op. The team revealed that the game had exceeded 700,000 concurrent players, leading to an emergency meeting with Epic Games to address the issue in the backend. Following the update to the Epic Games backend, the team confirmed that the connectivity errors and issues when hosting co-op games on Xbox and PC have been resolved, and players should notice an improvement in connectivity shortly.
Palworld, a “Pokémon with guns” survival game, made headlines after selling a staggering 1 million copies just hours into its early access launch on Steam and Xbox Series X/S. The game has quickly climbed the ranks, taking the eleventh place on Steam’s “most played games” chart with 663,320 concurrent players on Steam alone.

The swift resolution of the connectivity issue also underscores the developer’s commitment to maintaining a seamless and enjoyable experience for the growing player base. With its unique concept and overwhelming initial success, Palworld is poised to make a significant impact in the gaming industry.
