Fallout 76 breaks its own concurrent player record years after launching

The
huge
success
of
the
Fallout
TV
show
has
sparked
a
resurgence
of
popularity
in
the
videogames
on
which
it
based,
and
of
them
it
seems
to
be
Fallout
76
that’s
getting
the
biggest
rub.

Released
in
2018,
Fallout
76
was
a
controversial
live-service
take
on
the
franchise
that
launched
in
a
less-than-stellar
state.
Since
then,
though,
and
to
Bethesda’s
credit,
the
game
has
continued
to
be
supported
has
maintained
a
small
but
dedicated
playerbase.

But
the
show
has
brought
in
heaps
of
new
players.
So
many,
in
fact,
that
the
official
Fallout
account
on
X
has
announced
that
over
one
million
people
logged
into
Fallout
76
in
24
hours.

Jonathan
Rush,
the
creative
director
of
Fallout
76,

took
to
X
and
wrote
:
“It’s
amazing
to
see
the
large
influx
of
new
Appalachian
Adventurers,
and
how
our
awesome
community
has
welcomed
them!”

The
Fallout
account
also
shared
that
Fallout
series
as
a
whole
drew
in
5
million
people
in
24-hours.

It’s
amazing
how
much
the
TV
show
has
helped
boost
the
franchise’s
popularity,
including
making
Fallout
4
the
highest
selling
game
in
Europe
last
week.
Fallout
4
is
also
getting
a

next-gen
upgrade
tomorrow
that
will
include
native
versions
of
the
game
for
PS5
and
Xbox
Series
S/X,
boosting
the
graphics
and
performance.

As
for
the
TV
show,

a
second
season
has
already
been
confirmed.
