Palworld dev is “worried many of you haven’t played” Core Keeper, “one of the best games on Steam,” so now the two survival games are bundled together and even cheaper in the Steam Autumn Sale

Whether you adore or despise Palworld, the developer Pocketpair has undeniably contributed to acknowledging other studios producing fantastic games. With the Steam Autumn Sale for 2025 in full swing, the studio has taken another step to assist its peers in expanding their audience, as you can now obtain the survival treasure Core Keeper in a package with Palworld for an even greater discount.

“Players, I’m concerned that many of you haven’t experienced Core Keeper yet,” Palworld’s communications director John ‘Bucky’ Buckley mentions on Twitter. “It’s one of the finest games on Steam, so we included it in a bundle with Palworld. Now you have no justifications. Go and play!” In that spirit, you can acquire both titles on Steam at a 31% reduction during the Steam sale. The package regularly provides a 10% discount, and if you already possess one of the games, you can still apply it to obtain the second title at a lower price.

It’s a solid offer, but I’m not actually here to convince you to add even more items to your backlog – it’s just nice to observe a developer who has enjoyed the success that Pocketpair has attempt to give back. As Bucky states in another tweet, the creators are “merely enthusiastic fans” of Core Keeper. Not a terrible result for a developer who was once informed by an educator that “you will end up on the street.”

This follows Palworld’s collaborations with titles ranging from Terraria to Ultrakill, along with the launch of Pocketpair’s publishing venture to further assist indies in reaching an audience. Crafting a game is a challenging endeavor in 2025, so it’s encouraging to witness a bit of extra backing among developers.
