Palworld, a satire game that players have taken to calling “Pokemon with guns,” has sparked a new partnership with its Xbox release. Microsoft is teaming up with the game developer Pocketpair to improve the game’s performance on Xbox. The partnership stated their goals to create dedicated servers, optimize memory and GPU performance, streamline the process to make Palworld updates available, and improve performance on the Xbox.
The game is also available on PC including through Steam, which had a far better performance. An IGN review claimed, “The version of Palworld on Xbox and the Microsoft Store might not be nearly as polished as the Steam version, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a ton of fun. Performance is obviously worse, the audio issues are glaring, you won’t be able to nickname your beloved Pals, and you’re limited to a much smaller group of friends.”

Despite the limited issues, the game became the biggest third-party launch on Game Pass, clocking in with a total of 19 million copies sold. That’s 12 million on Steam and 7 million on Xbox for a game just released on January 19 of this year. If the Xbox and Pocketpair partnership makes the necessary improvements, it’s likely to increase sales of the Xbox version, which may surpass the amount of Steam copies sold.
