Back in January, when Palworld initially launched, it broke the internet in a lot of ways. From high-ranking game developers shamefully attacking the title, and others making false accusations over the developers using AI. To the game selling a phenomenal 15 million copies in its first month and earning the 2nd most concurrent player counts on Steam. It was a game by a very small development team that went beyond viral and made history.
But as the months went on, Pocket Pair, the developers of Palworld were heads down mostly fixing problems with the game, causing it to lose its momentum. However, they were also working on its first free major content drop, the Sakurajima Update. Originally revealed during Summer Games Fest, Pocket Pair showcased a vibrant and beautiful new island. As well as so much more content to dive into. Here is everything you need to know about the Sakurajima Update!
