Every month to maintain the online server Palworld Pocketpair is spending nearly 500 thousand dollars

Palworld developer Pocketpair is taking no chances with losing the momentum of the game’s meteoric rise from meme game to one of the most played games in Steam’s history. Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe shared a screenshot of the game’s monthly server costs on X/Twitter, which amount to roughly $500K USD right now. Ouch.

Retaining players as a live service game is challenging as ever, with so much competition, it’s no wonder that Palworld is taking such an aggressive approach to keeping players’ time in the game uninterrupted.

Palworld is available now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass and Windows PC.
