Summary
Overnight sensationPalworldcould potentially come to PlayStation platforms at some point down the line, if a recent social media interaction is any indication.Palworldhas been a massive success, selling over 5 million copies at last count and becoming one of the most popular Steam games of all time.Palworld’s sales success is especially impressive when one considers that it’s only available on three platforms.
As of January 2024,Palworldis only available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, meaning both PlayStation and Nintendo gamers are missing out on the phenomenon. While fans shouldn’t expect to seePalworldcome to PS4 or PS5 at any point in the near future, there is at least some hope that the game could eventually make its way to PlayStation consoles.
This is thanks to a recent interaction that PlayStation’s Shuhei Yoshida had with a fan on Twitter. Yoshida responded to a tweet fromPalworldabout the game’s sales numbersby saying, “Congratulations.” A fan then responded to Yoshida, asking that he help verify that the PS5 version ofPalworldis released “as soon as possible.” Yushida simply responded, “Yes.” In that same tweet, Yushida tagged PlayStation’s Jingwen Zhu. For the uninitiated, Jingwen Zhu works for PlayStation’s Partner Development, so the right people are being notified about fan demand to seePalworldcome to PS5.
IfPalworldwere to come to PS5, it’s easy to see how the game would be an instant success on that platform as well. Even thoughPalworldis on Xbox Game Pass, its sales have been through the roof, and with the PS5’s sizable install base, the game would have the chance to grow even bigger.
What Systems Can You Play Palworld On?
Of course, withPalworldreadily available to play on Xbox One, it’s likely that a PS4 version of the game is also in the cards. Even though many gamers have moved on to the PS5, there are many others who still use the PS4 as their go-to console. And with thePS4 having sold over 117 million unitsat last count, it’s easy to see how bringingPalworldto the platform would be a worthwhile endeavor on the part of Pocketpair.
Regardless of if or whenPalworldcomes to PS5, fans of the game should have a lot to look forward to in the months and years ahead.FuturePalworldupdatesare expected to bring new features to the game, and considering the sheer number of players it currently enjoys, one has to imagine that the developers now have the resources to do more with the game than ever thought possible.
