Palworld, the Pokémon-like survival game that blew up on PC earlier this year, is now out on PlayStation 5. The announcement came during Sony's State of Play livestream.
Palworld is already available on Xbox, and developer Pocketpair said earlier this year that crossplay features are in the works.
The PS5 launch is cool for console players who want to get in on a 2024 phenomenon, but comes at an uncomfortable time for Pocketpair: After months of speculation over whether Nintendo would go after Palworld over its similarities to Pokémon, it finally happened. Earlier this month, Nintendo announced that it's suing the studio for patent infringement.
We did some digging, and it looks likely that one of the patents in question has to do with the throwing of Poké Balls. Nintendo's team of super-lawyers are pretty good at logging wins, too, so it'll be a tough fight for the indie newcomer.
