Palworld dev calls PUBG a dating sim and fans can’t unsee it
The creators of Palworld just dropped one of the wildest takes in gaming: They say PUBG is secretly a dating sim. Pocketpair, the indie studio behind the viral survival game, commented on social media after fans shared screenshots of bonding moments in the game. It was clearly a joke, but it instantly set the internet on fire with debate and amusement.
Palworld team doubles down on playful chaos
Pocketpair is known for pushing boundaries and blending genres. Palworld mixes survival mechanics, monster collecting, and third-person gunplay. Now the devs are poking fun at how players create their own experiences. When a fan posted about connecting with someone in PUBG, Pocketpair responded with the twist: “PUBG has always been a dating sim. You just didn’t notice.”

PUBG as a dating sim? Kind of makes sense
It might sound absurd, but longtime players know that battle royale games can lead to surprising connections. Unlikely alliances, emotional betrayals, and shared survival often create more than just combat stories. Pocketpair’s joke taps into that feeling. If players choose to see romance in chaos, who’s to say they’re wrong?
Palworld devs love stirring things up
This isn’t the first time Pocketpair has caused a stir. They’ve already gone viral by calling Palworld “Pokémon with guns.” Their mix of sincerity and satire keeps fans entertained—and sometimes confused. Their latest comment shows they’re still having fun and encouraging others to do the same.
Genre? Just a suggestion
In a world where games are shaped by player choices, maybe genres matter less than we think. Whether PUBG is a shooter or a dating sim depends on how you play it. Pocketpair’s joke proves that a little trolling can spark some deep—and hilarious—thoughts.
