Over five million copies of Palworld have been sold since Friday.

Lots of people have been catching Pals and hatching eggs, according to the game’s developer, Pocketpair. Palworld is also currently the most-played game on Steam, hitting a peak of roughly 1.5 million players.

The game, described by Kotaku as “if someone tossed Minecraft, Fortnite, Pokémon, and some AR-15s into a giant blender,” is a breakout hit despite seemingly coming out of nowhere.
