Palworld was one of the first surprises of 2024. Pocketpair’s title quickly won over millions of players to break several records on Xbox and Steam. Due to this success, the company’s boss considered turning it into a game as a service.

The revelation was made in an interview with ASCII in Japan. Here he talked about how he considers making Palworld a game as a service. However, the decision has not yet been made. Mainly because the game wasn’t built with this model in mind and it would take too much work to change it.

‘When you think from a business perspective, making a game as a service extends its life and makes it more stable in terms of profitability. However, our game was not initially designed with that in mind, so there would be many challenges in going down this path..’ The Pocketpair boss assured.

So although they have thought about doing it, it seems that the boss himself is not so convinced about it.Do you think it would be better if it were a game as a service?
