Although steeped in controversy, Palworld is easily one of the most intriguing, fun, and (well, sort of) unique open-world survival games out there, bringing a hefty dose of Pokémon-esque nostalgia to your PC or console. Even better, it’s currently on sale, meaning you can experience this Frankenstein’s monster of a game for less.
Of course, Palworld has a pretty obvious case of “copying Pokémon’s homework,” a move that may, or may not, come back to bite it in the long run, just like other Pokémon imitators before it. But for now, with its chaotic mix of monster-catching, crafting, and survival mechanics, it’s absolutely worth a shot—especially at a discount.
Best Palworld Deals
It wasn't long ago we shared that you could buy Steam accounts with Palworld loaded on them for less than half price. However, we appreciate not everyone wants to play Palworld on a brand-new account—most of us simply want the game in our own Steam libraries. Fortunately, you can still do that while saving.
One of the best deals out there is over at G2A, where you can buy a Steam Gift key that works anywhere in the world for as little as $25.70 / £20.66 (or $25.50 / £20.50 with G2A Plus). That's 15% off its regular price (16% G2A Plus) and a great way to share the joy of Palworld either with yourself or a loved one seeing as Valentine's Day is fast approaching.
G2A isn't the only place you can find Palworld on sale though. Here are some other places to buy the game for less:
- Steam (PC) - $22.49 / £18.74 (25% off)
- GAMiVO (Xbox/Windows - US-only) - as low as $15.09
- Kinguin (Steam Altergift) - as low as £16.86
Is Palworld Worth Buying?
Despite the swirling controversy around its similarities to Pokémon, Palworld delivers an undeniably fun and engaging experience, blending monster-catching with open-world survival mechanics in a way that feels fresh and chaotic. Whether you're taming adorable (and sometimes dangerous) creatures, crafting gear, or just exploring its vibrant world, there's plenty to enjoy—especially if you're a fan of games like Pokémon, Ark: Survival Evolved, or Rust. And with several great discounts available right now, it's easier than ever to jump in without paying full price.
That said, Palworld isn't without its caveats. The game is still in early access, meaning bugs, balance issues, and potential legal troubles could impact its future. But if you're willing to embrace its current state, there's a ton of fun to be had, whether solo or with friends.
At a discount, it's an even better deal—so if the idea of Pokémon with guns and survival mechanics piques your interest, it's absolutely worth giving Palworld a shot.
