Palworld dev refuses to be baited into Helldivers 2 comparison: “I don’t like you. Console war baiting in 2025 is beyond stupid”

Palworld‘s outspoken community manager and designer has clapped back at an Xbox fan account on Twitter for “console war baiting.”

The Twitter account in question posts, “Palworld is still successful, but Helldivers 2 flopped and lost the majority of its players,” alongside a screenshot showing the former game with 84,961 concurrent players and the latter with 23,794. Both games did phenomenally well when they launched last year and have seen their player counts slowly stabilize to more consistent levels, but if you look purely at peak player counts, Palworld did fare far better, with over four times as many players at its most popular – it beat Cyberpunk 2077’s player record and even surpassed 2 million concurrent players.
