Bethesda : Fallout 76 had over 1 million players in a single day (and almost 5 million across all Fallout games in a single day)

Back when the Console with the Game also came with the Game 😂
Kinda like Best Buy selling Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One/PS4 for $5 for one of their DOTDs
I'm curious when they'll announce a new player count number for Fallout 76. Last update was 17 million, and I get the feeling it's probably closer to 25 million now...
Also 1 Million players in a single day is really impressive. I wonder what the concurrent player count across all platforms was, my guess being like 700,000 or so but honestly I have no idea...

I gotta imagine those conversations are happening. Even smaller titles (like a Fallout Tactics 2) would be great!
Yep. Bc when I play with Fallout 1st I'm not really playing online with anyone else, so pausing only effects me.
Yeah, maybe everyone in the server gets a vote option and if all 24 people agree it pauses for everyone.
Edit: oh, youre a private worlder.
Gave this game a shot on Sunday with my brother. Resubbed to a month of PS+ Extra for it.
I didn't care for it, but it was just one afternoon. I'll give it another shot whenever he's free. Definitely cool to have someone to run with, and I feel like there is SOMETHING there that should appeal to me.

There's no way they don't get another studio to do a side game at least. It would be such a wasted opportunity.
There's no one else on my server. I should have mentioned that upfront.
The Fallout IP is way too valuable to not at least have a smaller studio taking a stab at a isometric game or the like. Waiting potentially another decade+ before Fallout 5 is just fumbling of the highest order. The show's entire run will be done by then lol.
Yeah assuming five seasons, the show would probably be done by around March 2029 at latest. Depends on how long it would take them to shoot and do effects between seasons.
Huh? That's a completely different topic than the series receiving a sales boost.
They seem to be doing just fine selling merch and the old software. Playerbase on FO76 has grown by 800% and going and many of these people besides buying the game in cases, are also buying cash shop bundles. Bethesda has always done well at continuing to sell their old games for years and not needing to rush out the next sequel.
Man, I REALLY wish they'll eventually release an offline version of this (and ideally TESO as well, but that's harder to justify). I love how Appalachia and the rest of the new areas look, but I just can't get into an offline Fallout for the life of me. Besides, I expected lag to be an issue early on, but right now I have a pretty good connection and the game has been patched a billion times and it's still basically unplayable for me.
Not really. The point is, if the binge format is working when the show is good and that the conversation can last longer than just a few days. The impact on the gaming franchise is eveidence for that, in my opinion.
What is the current state of Fallout 76? I was kind of put off the game entirely by the way they were doing expedition maps instead of expanding Appalachia. Now they're expanding the main map, how is it?
And if they were smart they would have some type of remaster ready for Season 2, S2 is probably 2026, they got 2 years, they can't make a new game in that time frame, but they could polish up 3, 4, New Vegas, etc.
If you weren't happy with Expeditions, not much has changed since then, only a couple little things added since then. Map extension comes in June. They added more expeditions with Atlantic city, some new quest lines, items, public events, etc, but there hasn't been huge chances since Expeditions are fairly recent.
This is a reactionary non sense thing to say when looking at the legs of their games, especially if they commit to the 10 years of support they've already talked about. If we get major great content drops it can easily happen.
Nah, two different things. (And I think you're being a little hyperbolic.)
I doubt many people (if anyone at all) told you that an all-at-once episode drop meant no one would talk about the show at all. What they likely said is that conversation around the show would die down much faster than it would if it were week-to-week, which is absolutely true. Lots of evidence to back that up from the history of all-at-once drops vs. weekly releases.
That's a different topic than whether or not the game series has received a boost, only two weeks into the release of the series.
I jumped into Fallout 76 for the first time last week and in my 15-20 or so hours, the community has been SO awesome. The game itself is fantastic too.
The best kind cuz you get a good show and not a trailer that spoils half the game lol
Starfield is already a good game and they have a history of great support for their titles. It's starting from a better position that many of these games that "turned it around".
