Palworld Global Popularity Poll 2026 opens with over 280 Pals and some humans on the ballot

Pocketpair opened voting for its global popularity poll.

What the announcement says

• Voting for the Palworld Global Popularity Poll 2026 opened on September 1, 2026, through a Steam announcement.
• The ballot covers every Pal in the v1.0 roster, which Pocketpair puts at over 280, plus some in-game human characters.
• You vote on the official poll site.

Humans on the ballot

After saying every Pal is a candidate, Pocketpair adds “(plus some in-game human characters)” in parentheses and moves on. No names, no count. If you were planning to spend your vote on a Pal, the human bracket is the part worth reading twice.

Over 280 Pals, or 299

Pocketpair wrote “over 280+ Pals” and left the count there. Our Pal catalog lists 299. The announcement says nothing about how it counts, so we are not going to guess at the gap. For what v1.0 added to the roster, see the v1.0 release rundown.

What the announcement leaves out

The announcement gives no closing date, no categories, and no word on when results arrive. Check the official poll site before you plan around a deadline.
