This happens with pretty much every game nowadays.
About the only modern games that are still even talked about right now are Witcher 3, Baldurs Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom

Honestly, the interesting part is gonna be when they drop their first decent content update, and how many people will take a look at it.

People are clamoring for something new and lasting. So when something pops up, people flock, only to see it's shallow and then they move on to the next big thing.

Yeah. Why the fuck would anybody spend money on an alpha build? I'm not going to pay you to be a bug tester.

I'd play Palworld before Fortnite or LoL any day.

I don't like Palworld either, but it's not "dead" yet by any means. Right now you're just seeing the dip because the people who impulse bought it because of the price, hype, or controversy that was built up about it have already stopped playing and moved on. Now it has competition like Tekken 8 and Persona 3 Reload pulling its player base away.

That said, I've been predicting since launch that it will really lose players once FF7 Rebirth comes out, so we'll see how its numbers are at the end of the month.

Palworld is only in early access. The numbers could have been higher if they did a full release.

I doubt it tbh. There will be a significant drop-off for sure, that's unavoidable.
But the difference between something like Palworld and a single player game like FF7 is that the former is something players always come back to. Not that there aren't a ton of people replaying SP games, I'm one of them. But the Early Access nature of Palworld makes it so that there's new content to check out and fans of the game will def be doing so if the devs have a consistent schedule and decent content drops.

Palworld is far from dead, but it having a drop off was inevitable. It's a lot of fun, but the amount of players it gained just from pure hype was crazy. I'll be popping in and out of the game as they add more content, but I'm not gonna keep up the pace of putting 3-4 hours a day into it

Dude, this game was always a novelty.

"Hey look, they took this wholesome childhood favorite and made an edgy spoof"

I thought it might have a few more weeks because it looked pretty competent, most novelty cash in games are low effort asset flips.

I don't think this is a novelty. This dev has struck gold. If they keep supporting this game, it'll be the next Minecraft. And when they make a Palworld 2, it's going to break the internet.

There's so much room for growth with this game. Only the tip of the iceberg rn if the devs decide to actually run with this and I really hope they do. It's fun with my main complaint being how leggy the mp servers are
