Let's say this is not surprising, as it was expected that the interest surrounding the launch and the almost unprecedented number of players would subside after a while. This does not mean that he stopped playing, but simply that the situation around him has returned to normal.
Everyone remembers the amount of media coverage generated by the Pokemon-like game Palworld a few months ago. On the one hand because some of the animals in it resemble those seen in the Nintendo game series, and The Pokémon Company has responded to this as well, and on the other hand, because who doesn't want to collect Pokemon and then give them weapons while building our base?!
the SteamDB Based on current data, Palworld has lost 97 percent of its players, but that's not surprising. The “hype” died down and the media interest that developed returned to normal, as did player interest. Palworld isn't the kind of live service that requires us to log in every day in exchange for such-and-such rewards, so there's no need to expect players to maintain an active player count.
Pocketpair is far from giving up on the game. Not long ago, a roadmap was announced that included promising endgame content, PvP, cross-play, new islands, Paloks, enemies, and more.
