Fallout games reach 311k+ concurrent players on Steam (Fallout 76 and Fallout 3 hit all-time high)
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
Damn. 60K players on Fallout 4 is insane, especially considering the game was released almost 10 years ago. The game hadn't reached such a player count since 2016.
The game has surpassed Cyberpunk, Dragon's Dogma, Elden Ring, and many others this week-end. It's not impossible for it to reach 100K players tomorrow.
Too bad Microsoft doesn't make Game Pass numbers public. I wouldn't be surprised if there were as many players on that platform

I would guess, if they were interested in checking out the really old entries in the series, most people would pick 1 over 2 as a starting point.
1 is the obv starting point.
2 is a better game by far, but only because it took what worked from 1 and ramped it up to 11.
My guess is that it's a better game. I dunno about the mod differences though. But I think it's a better game.
edit:
Actually I got that backwards, 2 is better not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this.

Fallout 1 was given away for free on Steam a few years ago, while I don't think Fallout 2 was ever made free.
Incidentally, what's the consensus on Fallout Tactics, it being inspired by Final Fantasy Tactics makes me want to play that one.
It sucks that there's not gonna be a new mainline game for damn near a decade, unless it's being secretly worked on as we speak, which is doubtful.
It's a missed opportunity for MS. Imagine Fallout 5 dropping around the time season 2 of the show releases in a couple years. Would be hype af

I know some people prefer the first because it was more...focused, maybe?
But I agree, the second takes all the great stuff from 1 and expands and goes absolutely nuts with it. It's fantastic.
TLOU jumped up sales rankings massively when the show came out. F4 and F76 also jumped to the top downloaded games, so it looks like they have had the same effect. Good timing for the res and performance modes to come out along with a sale as well.
People love Fallout, myself included. It's not far-fetched to see that they want more of it, a lot more in fact.
Yeah same it's in a better state than I thought possible.
And apparently all expansions were free DLC.
I got their sub that's 50% off to get the costumes, lots of items etc.. and what not, then cancelled sub. It was like 7 bucks.
I mean, you can get every Fallout game you want from 1 buck to 7,50 bucks at max. You can't get the Last of Us games for that.
There's nothing like the vibes you get from Fallout.
Especially so if you dig the old radio songs that made me appreciate songs from the 40's and during the times when Fallout 3 was originally released made me connect with my grandfather like I never did previously.
Miss him. I'll always have fallout to remember him… he used to love listening to all those old songs.
I did too.

Yeah I started downloading 76 on my series X after the first 2 episodes of the show lol.
I've only played 3 before and loved but never came back to the series.

2 is also much more balanced. You can tell they made the SPECIAL system last minute. Some skills in fallout like outdoorsmen were useless in 1 but very useful in 2.
Other little things like skills costing more points after certain thresholds or some perks actually possible to get due to actually getting enough XP to get past level ~13-15 made the experience just better overall.
How does Fallout 1 run on modern PCs? Not talking about gameplay or game design, just want to know if I buy it right now will it run properly on my Windows 10 PC?
Yeah it runs with no issues
Assuming you have the demanding recommended settings, of course
Processor: Pentium 90Mhz or faster
Memory: 16 MB
Graphics: SVGA
DirectX®: Any DirectX
Hard Drive: 565 MB
Played 3 and loved it, new Vegas had an boring opening so never finished it. Bought 4 a while ago, just waiting for the updated patch. Excited to give 4 a real shot here soon.
Would love to know the number in new sales the tv show generated.

At least Fallout London expansion mod is just around the corner.
I'm downloading Fallout 76 on PC Gamepass as I type this. I already have Fallout 4 GOTY on Steam but only spent a few hours with it years ago and then it went to the backlog never to be touched again because I didn't enjoy it. I'll give it another shot when the updated version releases in a couple of weeks.
Runs fine, but if you want there are some high res mods out there if you want a more modern take. Patch that comes with Steam and Gog versions is good though.
I do wonder what Fallout would look like today if they'd been able to use GURPS.
It got me to fire up 76. Maybe they'll have some sort of new game when the second season releases... I can dream.
I imagine it's also kind of helps that the show doesn't just tell the same story again but is it's own thing. It certainly got me a lot more interested in that world again
