Decline in player count after initial launch
During early access, like in Palworld, the game has been losing its player count. It could be due to players completing the current content, moving on to another game, or simply losing interest.

Currently, we don’t know the exact timeline for when Palworld Arena will be announced or the rewards for participating. Studio said the early access promise would fix the issues to further improve the existing system and bring new features to the game.
