Palworld, an open-world survival game, has surpassed Fortnite in daily Xbox players on January 22nd, according to Circana's Player Engagement Tracker. Despite its success, including selling 7 million copies in Early Access and becoming the second-most-played game on Steam, Palworld faces cheating issues. Developer Pocketpair released a patch to combat cheats and exploits but acknowledged the difficulty in completely preventing cheating. The game currently lacks an anti-cheat system, and experts suggest shifting authority to the server to reduce exploits. Palworld plans to introduce PvP gameplay, making cheat prevention crucial. The game has also been controversial, facing accusations of being a Pokémon rip-off and receiving death threats, while Nintendo has taken action against a Pokémon mod and The Pokémon Company intends to investigate potential intellectual property infringement.
