Palworld has taken the world and the internet by storm. As of writing, it’s cleared over 7 million copies sold on Steam alone, has the second most concurrent players of all time, and is lighting up Twitter feeds with accusations of plagiarism and AI-generated art.
This week on Spot On, Tam and Lucy discuss Palworld , a survival game that launched into Early Access last week on PC and Game Pass with some sizable buzz behind it. Since its reveal, many were referring to the game as Pokémon with guns. People quickly accused developer PocketPair of using AI generated assets to create the game, as well as lifting models from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Spot On is a weekly news show airing Fridays in which GameSpot’s managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James talk about the latest news in games. Given the highly dynamic and never-ending news cycle of the massive video game industry, there’s always something to talk about but, unlike most other news shows, Spot On will dive deep into a single topic as opposed to recapping all the news. Spot On airs each Friday.
