Palworld, the monster-catching survival game, has been gaining massive popularity, but beware of fake mobile versions of the game that have recently appeared on the Apple App Store and Google Play. The developer, Pocketpair, has stated that there is no official mobile version of Palworld and warns against downloading these unauthorized apps.

In a tweet, Palworld developer Pocketpair emphasized that any apps claiming to be the mobile version of Palworld are not affiliated with their company and may pose a risk to your personal data. The developer has reported the issue to Apple and Google in an effort to address the unauthorized apps.

While the fake Palworld app could not be found on Google Play, it has been available for pre-order on the App Store with a purported launch date of February 11. Pocketpair advises caution and urges players to refrain from downloading these unauthorized apps to protect their personal information from potential theft.
