Nintendo and The Pokemon Company could be looking to sue Palworld developer Pocketpair outside of Japan, but doing so might not be easy, one attorney has suggested.

With Palworld coming to PS5 today, that means you can play the open-world survival game on Sony 's platform alongside PC and Xbox Series X. Somehow, we don't think Nintendo is being added to the list just yet. By submitting your information you agree to the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy and are aged 16 or over.

Pocketpair, the company behind Palworld, says it doesn’t know what patents it violated. The game has been described as “Pokémon with guns” by many players online.

Can the tension of "family friendly nice guys" and "we sue everyone and sent a disabled person to jail" really continue existing in perpetuity?

Palworld developer Pocketpair has officially issued a response to Nintendo's allegations of patent infringement, says they are unaware of violations.

Palworld is launching on PlayStation 5 today, after releasing in early access on PC and Xbox Series X|S earlier this year. The massive survival-crafting game saw huge numbers at launch and has now made its way to the PS5, despite currently being sued by Nintendo for alleged patent infringement.

It seemed like it was just a matter of time before Nintendo sued Palworld, but the lawsuit shines light on a bigger issue in the industry.

Palworld developer Pocketpair responded defiantly to a lawsuit launched by Nintendo, saying, ‘We move on.’ The lawsuit submitted by Nintendo accused Palworld of committing multiple patent infringements.
