\"Palworld<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019ve been living under a rock, the monster-catching survival game Palworld is the hottest thing since sliced bread. As such, it\u2019s only natural that players would want to take it anywhere they go; it\u2019s currently only available on PC and Xbox Series X\/S (via early access). However, mobile versions have recently been spotted, but you\u2019ll want to think twice before downloading them.<\/p>\n

An app posing as Palworld has appeared on Apple\u2019s App Store<\/a> and Google Play. In an X post<\/a>, however, Palworld developer Pocketpair states that there is no official mobile version of Palworld. The app store version lists its developer as Oleksandra Kryvcun, which is the primary tip-off that something is amiss. Though not available, the app is available for pre-order and lists a February 11 launch date. <\/p>\n

\n

[Warning]
\nThere is no Palworld application for phones. Apps using names and product images such as “\u30d1\u30eb\u30ef\u30fc\u30eb\u30c9” and “Palworld” are appearing on the AppStore and Google Play, but they are not affiliated with our company in any way.<\/p>\n

We have reported this issue to Apple, which\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 Palworld (@Palworld_EN) January 31, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pocketpair warns that downloading this app may lead to your personal data being stolen. It states that it has reported these apps to Apple\/Google. We couldn’t find the fake Palworld on Google Play, so it may already be gone. Hopefully, the App Store fake is dealt with soon to protect eager players from installing something potentially nasty. <\/p>\n

Palworld has become the hottest (and most controversial) game of the year, and it remains to be seen if and when it will be brought to other platforms. Until then, you can catch up on all the excitement and discourse by reading our in-depth overview of what Palworld entails<\/a> and our studio profile on developer Pocketpair<\/a> from last year. You can also watch us play Palworld from the beginning in this episode of Game Informer Live<\/a>. <\/p>\n
