Palworld is still going strong in 2025, with a daily peak of 43,000 players at the time of writing. Player counts have declined slightly this year, falling from the 13th ranking in January to the 37th spot on the Steam charts. However, as players are given the opportunity to play with their friends, it's expected that this number will see a significant uptick.

The Palworld developers are still in hot water with Nintendo, with patent infringement lawsuits still pending in the domestic Japanese courts. However, case is unlikely to affect Palworld's prospects moving forward, as evidenced by Nintedo's smaller settlement demands of 10 million yen ($66,000 USD). Nintendo is proceeding with their own venture into 3D Pokemon - in the form of Pokemon Z-A.
