Palworld Devs Seek More Help Amid Game's Wild Success

The indie game developer Pocketpair is currently on a hiring spree due to the overwhelming success of their game Palworld. The game has amassed a staggering 19 million players across Steam and Xbox, leading to high server costs and a pressing need for additional staff to support its development. Despite the boom in popularity, Pocketpair also emphasizes their commitment to a balanced work environment, with claims of flexible working hours and little to no overtime.

Palworld got an update recently which resolved an issue that caused creatures within the game, known as Pals, to overbreed. This patch is part of ongoing efforts to maintain game stability and enhance the player experience in the thriving monster-taming adventure title.

If you're interested in joining Pocketpair's team, you can apply through their job posting links which have been shared on their Twitter account and are available in both Japanese and English. They are looking for candidates with any engine experience who are passionate about creating new and innovative games.

For a bit of background information, Palworld is an open-world survival crafting game featuring creatures known as Pals. It's often described as a mix between Pokémon and conventional survival games, allowing you to befriend, capture, and even arm your Pals to protect your base or help in hunting. The game's unique blend of creature collection and robust open-world gameplay has contributed to its virality and success, requiring Pocketpair to scale up their operations to meet player demand.
