Palworld is an action-adventure survival game developed by Pocket Pair1. The game is set in an open world populated with animal-like creatures known as “Pals”. Players can battle and capture Pals to use them for base building, traversal, and combat.
The game was launched via early access for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in January 2024. It’s available on Steam and has received very positive reviews.
In Palworld, players control a customizable avatar from a third-person perspective with the goal of exploring the open-world Palpagos Islands and uncovering their secrets1. Players need to manage their hunger level, craft basic tools, gather materials, and build bases that act as fast travel points.
The islands are inhabited by over 100 creatures known as Pals. Players directly engage in combat with Pals in order to weaken them and capture them using “Pal Spheres”. Pals can also be bought on the black market through non-player characters or traded with other players. After obtaining Pals, they can be summoned to battle or stationed at the bases to assist with scavenging, crafting, cooking, etc., depending on their type.
The game’s comedic premise, which involves using firearms and equipping Pals with them, earned it the nickname "Pokémon with guns". Other elements, such as using creatures for food or placing them to work in mines and factories, have also garnered attention1.
However, the game has also faced some controversy. There have been discussions about whether Nintendo could successfully sue the game due to some similarities with Pokémon. Despite this, the game has been well-received, with praise for its gameplay, content, and satirical premise

Microsoft has announced that it will lay off approximately 1,900 employees from Activision Blizzard and Xbox, which represents about 8% of the overall Microsoft Gaming division. The majority of these layoffs are set to occur at Activision Blizzard3. This decision comes a few months after Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for $69 billion.
Blizzard President Mike Ybarra and Chief Design Officer Allen Adham are also leaving the company. A previously announced survival game by Blizzard has been canceled.
These layoffs are part of a larger trend in the technology sector, which has seen extensive layoffs over the past few years4. Last year, Microsoft laid off 10,000 workers
