CAUTION: Palworld on App Store Is a Fraudulent Clone

Feb 01, 2024 8:31 AM

Gamers eager for Palworld's release on PC and Xbox Series X/S are being advised to exercise caution, as a fraudulent clone of the highly anticipated game has surfaced on the Apple App Store. The app, set to release on February 4th, misleadingly uses the same promotional materials as the actual Palworld game, developed by Pocketpair. Pocketpair has issued official warnings stating that they are not behind this mobile version, which lists Oleksandra Kryccun as the developer, and have expressed concerns over potential personal information leaks and fraud if the app is downloaded. Gamers looking for legitimate Palworld information and tips, such as how to ride a Pal or how fast travel works, can find them on the game's official resources.

What should I know before downloading apps that resemble popular games like Palworld?

Always verify the authenticity of the game by checking the developer's name against the official source, avoid downloading apps with unclear origins, and follow updates from the legitimate game's creators to prevent potential privacy breaches and fraud.

Palworld is an action-adventure game that blends creature collecting with survival mechanics. Developed by Pocketpair, Palworld allows players to befriend and collect Pals – creatures of various shapes and skills – while building a life in a vast open world. The game introduces unique gameplay elements such as crafting, farming, and battling with Pals, challenging gamers to balance survival and creature care. As an indie title combining elements of RPG and shooter genres, it is poised to offer a fresh experience to the gaming community on PC and Xbox platforms.
