It turns out that a whole lot of people are willing to crawl out through the fallout… the Fallout 76, that is. The impact of Amazon’s recent first season of Fallout continues to be felt in Bethesda’s games themselves, as the studio reported that it just crossed 20 million players.
This marks a three-million player increase from its December 2023 high of 17M. Todd Howard called the online RPG “sneaky popular for a while,” with the current Fallout frenzy taking it to a whole new level.
“Depending on the Fallout game, you’re looking at a 4-6x increase in daily players, which is beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my 30 years of doing this,” Howard told Variety.
YOU DID IT! Thanks to you, we’ve crossed 20 million total players in #Fallout76! Time to grab the Nuka-Shine and throw a C.A.M.P. party!
What have been some of your favorite moments so far?
