Palworld has pretty much exactly the same amount of players as it did when I made my initial post. So, my post is as valid now as it was then. Aged like fine wine. Meanwhile, Palworld has about 40% of the users it did when you posted. So, that one aged like milk. 

For comparison's sake, Helldivers has about 72% of the users it did then, going by 24H peak. So, it's doing a much better job of holding onto players, which was my entire point. 

Here's where they are now. 

36.

Palworld

37,813

58,860

2,101,867

42.

HELLDIVERS™ 2

32,946

32,946

458,709

This is where they are as of right now. I imagine they'll fluctuate throughout the day, but the games by this point have a pretty similar player base overall. Which is pretty much what I said. Difference is that Palworld started with about 5 times as many users, so that is why it is fair to say that one fizzled out. 

It's not really relevant, but yeah, there's a pretty good chance that Helldivers will have over 100K users and temporarily break into the top 10 when the update comes out. The question is whether or not it will actually keep those players engaged. I imagine it will do so far better than Palworld did. 

Hold up, so an almost double daily peak is a "pretty similar player base overall" now? Okay..

And I'm really looking forward to see your update the next time Helldivers 2 makes it to the top 10.

Had almost double the daily peak, and about a week later has less. Fizzle fizzle fizzle.
