Palworld, the monster-catching survival game, has officially launched on PlayStation 5 in Japan, following a delayed release potentially related to Nintendo’s lawsuit against Pocketpair over alleged patent infringements. Meanwhile, Pocketpair has partnered with Krafton to bring the game to mobile platforms.
The developers of Palworld, Pocketpair, are considering a shift to a free-to-play model to sustain the game’s long-term profitability. While the game has been a massive success since its launch, the transition to a live-service model presents challenges and could spark backlash from existing players.
