Those looking for a job at Palworld developer Pocketpair will need to have some serious play history on Steam, while those with none won’t be considered at all.
In a post on X (translated via Automaton), Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe shared some insights into how the studio behind the hit monster-catching survival game hires new developers. He revealed that those looking to join the team are essentially required to play games on Steam.

“In fact, if you don’t play games on Steam at all, you won’t make it past the resume screening stage,” Mizobe said.
