Core Keeper from Pugstorm featured in exclusive bundle with Palworld – one of the world’s biggest indie games

In just one year, Palworld has reached over 32 million players worldwide and set a record with 2.1 million concurrent players on Steam in January 2024. For Core Keeper to be paired with this phenomenon marks a significant seal of quality and a unique business opportunity for Pugstorm.

“You should talk less about games, Fredrik – it won’t lead anywhere, one of my middle school teachers told me. I didn’t listen. Now we’re working side by side with some of the biggest names in the industry. What a journey!” says Fredrik Präntare, founder and CEO of Pugstorm.

Palworld’s team also highlights the collaboration.

“Gamers, I’m worried many of you haven’t played Core Keeper yet,” wrote John ‘Bucky’ Buckley, Communications Director at Palworld, on X. “It’s one of the best games on Steam so we put it in a bundle with Palworld. Now you’ve got no excuses. Go play!”

Core Keeper has already established itself as an international success with over four million copies sold. Combined with Palworld’s massive reach, this bundle opens the door to a whole new global audience.
