Palworld is so big it had to call “emergency meeting” with Epic Games

Palworld is already so big that the servers from Epic Games can't take it, but Pocketpair is already rolling out a massive fix for it.

Highlights:

In the 24 hours since the early access game came out it already eclipsed Starfield’s highest concurrent Steam player count

“We had an emergency meeting with the Epic Games team and had them add an update to the Epic Games backend at short notice. We have confirmed that this has resolved the connectivity errors and issues when hosting co-op games on Xbox and PC.”

    Minecraft went from obscurity to widly popular pretty quickly, but probably not this fast. I remember reading about how Notch (also fuck that guy) woke up one day to his bank account frozen because millions of people bought the $10 licenses.

      This is way faster than MC.

      MC snowballed. This exploded.

        Yeah, it took years for Minecraft to truly become the massive success that it is today. This one seemed like just a meme from the trailers and then suddenly everyone is playing.
