By February 22, 2024, how many Steam copies had Palworld sold?

By February 22, 2024, Palworld had sold 15 million copies on Steam.

The milestone arrived only about a month after the game’s January 19 Early Access launch. Pocketpair’s survival game spread rapidly through word of mouth, livestreams, and its unusual blend of creature collecting, base building, crafting, and combat. Its early sales growth was unusually fast: it passed one million copies within hours and reached several million more during its first week.

The wording matters because the 15 million figure refers specifically to Steam copies, not every person who had access to the game. On the same date, reports also said Palworld had reached 10 million players on Xbox. Xbox access included Game Pass, so that player figure cannot be added to Steam sales as if it represented another block of paid purchases.

Another common mistake is to call 15 million the game’s total player count. It was a platform-specific sales milestone at that moment. Later announcements used a different measure—players across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation—to describe Palworld’s wider reach.
