Palworld Launching On PS5 Today Despite Nintendo Lawsuit

Palworld is launching on PlayStation 5 today, after releasing in early access on PC and Xbox Series X|S earlier this year. The massive survival-crafting game saw huge numbers at launch and has now made its way to the PS5, despite currently being sued by Nintendo for alleged patent infringement.

Palworld is an open-world survival-crafting game where you gather resources to built up a base of operations. It originally garnered a ton of attention for its monster catching and battling aspects, which functions similarly to Pokemon, although in a vary different type of game. Some of the Pals designs were criticized for being very similar to some Pokemon designs, although Nintendo never took legal action on that front.

Palworld was announced for PlayStation 5 as part of the State of Play, which featured a ton of new announcements. Palworld is a massive hit prior to releasing on PS5, getting 25 million players in its first month.
