Palworld has proven to be an extremely successful game in recent weeks. Great for developer Pocketpair, but the studio is now facing a big problem: there is a lack of employees to manage the huge success.
Palworld-Studio is urgently looking for employees
The rapid rise in popularity and over 19 million players on platforms such as PC and Xbox is undoubtedly a blessing, but it also brings a number of challenges for the gaming hit Palworld. This includes, on the one hand, considerable investments in maintaining the smooth operation of the game servers and, on the other hand Shortage of staff.

In order to keep up with the game's popularity, the studio is now primarily looking for Specialists in the areas of planning and technology and this is where Pocketpair really comes into its own. The headquarters, located in Japan, touts a supportive work environment, flexible hours, comprehensive benefits and minimal overtime – a significant departure from industry standards, but probably still a challenge given Palworld's success (source: Pocketpair).
This is how Pocketpair wants to address new employees at X (formerly Twitter) (translated from Japanese):
There are still a lot of things I want to do in Palworld, but we're sorely lacking in friends! We recruit for all positions, but are particularly looking for positions in planning and technology! We don't care what engine you have experience with. So if you're interested in developing a completely new game, please apply!
