Palworld is somehow just as big a deal with its 1.0 launch as it was when it went into early access. Pocketpair’s phenomenon effectively had a second lease of life, and Fortnite is keeping one eye on the survival game.
Palworld hit almost one million concurrent players on Steam with 1.0.
It’s still going strong now, and with new content and many things to do, expect the Pokémon-inspired title to stick around for a while. If it does, Fortnite may opt to work with the game, which a new survey has potentially hinted at.
Could Palworld & Fortnite Collab?
According to many players and high-profile Fortnite pages, the Fortnite survey, which includes a section on which games you’ve been playing, now includes Pocketpair‘s Palworld.
A quick FYI: This doesn’t mean that Palworld content or a crossover will ever come to Epic’s worldwide smash-hit shooter.

On the other hand, you can’t entirely rule a crossover out.

Palworld collaboration content would be cool!
