How Indie Game ‘Palworld’ Became a Big Xbox Hit

Takuro Mizobe, a 35-year-old former JPMorgan tech engineer who founded game studio Pocketpair in 2015, explains why he created 'Palworld,' this year’s biggest independent sensation in the industry. The $30 title registered more than 25 million players in just a month — one of the fastest debuts in the industry’s history — and delivered a major hit for Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Miuzobe speaks with Bloomberg's Kurumi Mori.
