The jaw-dropping server expenses of Palworld have been unveiled. Following the release of the early access version, there has been a staggering 359% increase, totaling $470,000. This implies an annual server cost of approximately $5.6 million if Palworld can maintain its player base. Expressing concerns over the possibility of bankruptcy due to these exorbitant server costs, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe stated in the announcement, “What if we go bankrupt because of server expenses?”
Chujo Hiroto, the engineer in charge of Palworld’s network services, quoted Mizobe’s tweet and remarked, “We prepared the servers for the game without considering the cost, adhering to instructions to ensure uninterrupted gaming services. We will continue to do our best to overlook costs and provide a fully enjoyable experience for all players.” Hiroto emphasized that, at present, they are prioritizing player satisfaction over cost considerations.
