Fallout 76 recorded its biggest rise, soaring from 20,000 to nearly 30,000 concurrent players since December 2023.
Expanded Support and Updates
Bethesda plans continued support for Fallout 76, recently introducing the Glow of the Ghoul update. Creative Director Jon Rush confirmed ongoing commitments to the multiplayer title.
Speculation surrounds potential remastered releases of Fallout 3, with fans eager for official announcements. Fallout director Todd Howard mentioned that Fallout 5's storyline will align with the show's events in development.
