A popular video game developed by a Japanese studio has set off an unexpected cloud-computing race between Tencent Holdings and Alibaba Group Holding, as the two Chinese tech giants rush to draw players to their respective servers.

Palworld, an open-world survival game developed by Pocketpair that lets players catch and raise creatures known as Pals to build structures and fight, has become a breakout hit since its release on game distribution platform Steam on January 19, selling more than 8 million copies in less than six days.

With Pocketpair struggling to accommodate the surge of gamers that has overwhelmed its servers, the Tokyo-based company has given players the option to host the game on private servers.

Pokémon Go fans are prepping up for an exciting Community Day featuring Slowpoke and its Galarian variant on March 18th. Just a few days after it’s over, trainers will be roped into another event, as Professor Willow is conducting some wild research.

Between March 21st and 29th, Niantic will host a Let’s GO! Event in Pokémon Go. Field Research will be dominated by Pansage, Pansear, and Pampour, and Shiny versions may appear in the wild for lucky individuals as well.
