Palworld is currently the talk of the town. The crazy “Pokémon with weapons” is conquering not only Steam but also Twitch. And Erik “Gronkh” Range (46) is leading the way.
What is the situation on Twitch? That Palworld could become a hit on the streaming platform was already evident before release. Currently, it belongs to the most-watched categories on Twitch and even leaves long-standing favorites like Fortnite behind.
Big streamers like Asmongold and Rubius showcase the game in front of tens of thousands of viewers on Twitch. However, it is actually a German streamer who is currently in the lead and leaving everyone else behind – none other than Gronkh. In the last 3 days, no other streamer had as many viewers on average for the game (via SullyGnome).
Gronkh and Palworld seem to be a great combination
What is Gronkh up to in Palworld? All sorts of mischief, and he is having a lot of fun doing it. The 46-year-old jumped straight into Palworld on Friday, January 19, 2024, and immersed himself in the game for more than 6 hours. During that time, Gronkh has already discovered the current meta, human trafficking:
In addition, the content creator participates in the “normal” Palworld activities such as Pal-tormenting and building an exploitative operation. That he names Pals after his friends and then makes them work for him probably doesn’t need to raise any eyebrows… or (via Twitch)?
For those wanting more Palworld content from Gronkh, you’re in luck because the streamer is far from done and has plenty of big plans for the survival game. He visibly struggled to end the stream, as this is a game where he “could easily continue until 8 or 9 o’clock.”
As for angry Pokémon fans who consider Palworld a blatant copy, Gronkh has a clear opinion. Gameplay-wise, the survival game is already quite different from the original creature collector, and besides: “Cute creatures were not invented by Pokémon.”
You can find the entire stream, as usual, on Gronkh.tv.
That Gronkh is still relevant after so many years in the content business is regularly demonstrated when he dominates the Twitch charts with a new release. This was recently the case with another survival title: Twitch: 45-year-old is currently the biggest streamer in Germany – 20 years older than number 2, twice as successful
