In a surprise twist during Sony’s latest State of Play, the much-anticipated action-adventure game Palworld has made its debut on PlayStation 5. Described by many as “Pokémon with guns,” Palworld has captured the attention of gamers since its release on Xbox and PC in January, where it sold over a million copies in just eight hours and amassed over 25 million players in one month.
The game’s journey to PS5 hasn’t been without challenges. Recently, The Pokémon Company and Nintendo filed lawsuits against developer Pocketpair, triggering discussions about the game’s legal standing. Nintendo’s lawsuit claims that Palworld infringes on multiple patent rights, asking for an injunction and compensation for damages. Pocketpair’s CEO maintains that the game has “cleared legal reviews,” indicating that they believe they have followed proper legal protocols.
Despite the ongoing legal battles, gamers can dive into the action as Palworld becomes available in 68 countries and regions—though notably absent from Japan, where the release date remains undecided.
“This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement,” stated Nintendo. As the situation unfolds, there’s a sense of urgency for players considering indulging in this title. If you’re willing to take the plunge, Palworld is now within reach on your PlayStation.
Update, Sept. 25, 2024, 3:13 AM ET: Added note regarding the absence of Palworld on PS5 in Japan.
