PlayStation's new co-op shooter is taking Steam by storm, knocking not only Palworld off its bestselling throne, but also Counter Strike 2.
Update from February 13, 2024: The action shooter Helldivers 2 has been released and is sweeping the entire Steam community with it. Currently boasts Helldivers 2 in first place on the bestseller charts, from which he not only came across Palworld, but also Counter-Strike 2 (source: Steam Charts). Despite the fantastic advance sales figures, few expected such an opening.
In fact, the hype game Palworld is currently experiencing drastic player losses. Maybe the “Pokémon have weapons” formula doesn’t work as well as we’d hoped – at least not in the long term.
