His delivery of this line later in the series where he glasses over and starts it and then realizes what’s happening is awesome. Clark Gregg is my favorite, he was great in Florida Man, too!
I want that so bad, and I assumed it would never happen due to bethesda just being bethesda and relying on years old tech forever.
But when the head of xbox is complaining about lack of crosssave i'm a little more hopeful.
right? remember that was a disaster at launch too. They maanage to fix a lot of their problems as though go along, but it seems their creaking game engines don't lend themselves well to being a modern online game
They definitely hit a wall with Fallout 4, I remember them saying a lot of the development time was eaten up by something new they were trying to do with the textures and lighting or something to that effect. It wasn’t finished and that’s why some textures are really vibrant and shiny while most others just look kind of muddy.
I'd love to have cross save at minimum... I've been wanting to get back into the game but losing all my progress from Xbox and starting over on PC is such a barrier
Cross play and cross progression.
I bought the game at launch on PS4 and played for about 2 weeks before stopping.
But now I am really enjoying the game. And I would definitely but it again on PC if I could get cross progression going. Steam Deck goes with me everywhere, it'd be great.
Probably because the game wasn't built with it in mind. When the game was being developed and released, Sony was doubling down on keeping their ecosystem closed and not allowing cross play or cross saves. So Bethesda didn't build it with any plan of cross play or cross saves happening. While I don't work with software, I'd imagine it would require a near rebuild of the entire game to allow for cross play/cross saves.
That makes sense I know it is a big project to retroactively implement something like that. I was surprised when they added it to Dragon ball the Breakers.
YES!! My sister was given a hand-me-down laptop from our big sister and I was SO ready to play Fo76 with her. The only problem is, IT'S NOT CROSSPLAY BETWEEN XBOX AND PC!! WHY!!
I can somewhat understand no crossplay with PS because of the whole "console rivalry" but really, not even PC!! Now I'm a little salty that we can't play together, at least we can play Sea of Thieves together at least :(
I'd really love just a resolution update for series S and X, on my S it looks like 900p, it's so blurry. I'm playing through fallout 3 again which being one X enhanced runs at 1440p and it's so much easier on the eyes.
Yup. Todd said we aren’t Getting another fallout until after ES6. It’s been well over a decade and we still don’t know when that’s coming out. If you told me back in 2014 that we were getting gta 6 before elder scrolls 6 I would’ve never believed it
With the success of the show, I’d wonder if they’d want to rush things and try to line up a game release around the same time as season two. It might not be possible how they make games but there would be potential to really cash in.
Say S2 comes in a year, that'd only be a remaster of 3 or something. With ES6 being atleast 4.5 years away still, Fo5 is due around 2033. But I hoping the TV series plus Microsoft acquisition means another team gets put on it similar to NV route, and maybe we see something sooner?
This is nowhere close to GTA online that's one of the most profitable online game components in gaming g history. Half these people will be gone in 3 to 4 months max. People can downvote me all they want but people will be posting activity charts at that time and that's all the validation I need.
If they brought back Nuclear Winter for the PvP players, they'd see an insane increase in users. I'm not sure how they'd monetize that if it was mostly returning players, but more users means it would provide more opportunities to do so, or so it seems to me.
They wouldn't. Nuclear winter died because the player population interested in regularly playing it just wasn't worth the investment. Everyone who loved nuclear winter is under this impression that it was a very successful mode. It was not.
Plus, the hacking was rampant, which caused regular people to stop playing it after they got the rewards, and they were unable to fix the code to prevent it.
It’s funny, i was just playing Fallout 3 and reading a terminal entry on Vault 76. Apparently there was supposed to be a little over 500 occupants 🤣 close enough.
According to the blueprint it was built to host 88 people. Considering the corpses we find here and there I guess this means at any given server, those players are at the moment the actual canon survivors from 76.
[https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault?file=F76\_Vault\_76\_Construction\_Plans.png](https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Vault?file=F76_Vault_76_Construction_Plans.png)
Those are 51 dwellers not 76ers, 51 opened way earlier and had a battle royal to see who would win. The vault 51 overseer died a few days before 76 opened
Apparently there all from like 96 or something and there’s not a single 76 corpse in the game according to another Reddit thread i saw (so you know it’s definitely factual)
While I dont remember every location by heart, I saw one the other day at The Coop, in a raider cage. Will update with more as I rediscover them. I think there was one at the pigsty, will check that later.
I’m happy to be a part of that one million, even happier still that the show inspired me to come back after years and give it another go and I’m quite blown away by how much better it is than I remember it at launch. feels like having a brand new fallout game to go along with the show!
It's actually quite a bit better than it was at launch. I dislike having to pay for a private game, but I'm just antisocial and don't like dealing with randos
I haven’t played in years either and I was at vault 76 when a few high level players put a bunch of loot into the donation box. If you don’t want to pick up their loot, obviously you don’t have to. It’s really easy to play it single player especially with the pvp setting turned off
This is exactly what I’ve been doing. I have passive mode enabled and I occasionally see someone, we wave at each other, then keep going in our own directions. I like it
This is so much better than than what I used to do which was always check the vault and if a level 1 come out I would go drop them stuff. Donation box is rad.
You don't have to "deal" with anyone, ever, at any time, even in a group. I am in a group 99% of the time in the game for better SPECIAL stats and more XP. And I have literally never played with anyone in any group unless it was a Daily Op or a public event. But those are always 100% optional. Just being in a group with the right perks and mutations gives you +3 to all SPECIAL stats so it's all benefits and no negatives like actually playing with someone.
I have Fallout 1st and I never use the private server because there's no benefit.
To each their own but I don't see a reason to pay for private servers. It's great because players in this game are some of the nicest of any community in gaming. You can opt into pacifist mode and not worry about griefers, others will frequently drop plans, items, etc. the extra exp bonuses for grouping up help with progression. Randos can't actually interfere with you in hardly any way. Even at that you are never forced to interact with anyone you can just do your thing!
The only downside to playing in a public server, that I could see, is that sometimes mobs will be dead because someone wiped them for a daily. Even then server hoping is easy enough.
I think that is a good point to emphasize! It is definitely largely the show and the promotions, but we can't ignore the effect of what the Fallout 76 team has done to try to improve the game over the years. Their 99% perspiration has just collided with the 1% inspiration of the show.
Definitely, I didn't realize just how much better the game is now. I'm going to reroll and start over so I can experience the main story line with NPCs around
Anyone who played Cyberpunk after Edgerunners came out knew haha
That said, the effect is probably even more impactful here since the show is live action rather than animated.
Wow that series turned out to be a damn success in more than one way :O Just wish they'd have taken their time to fix all the Bethesdasoft jank. The menus and inventory are still a mess, and sorting armors and trying to get a comprehensive view on stats is a mess. Love Fallout, but It could definitely do with some update to its core systems.
Not to mention i get a crash probably every day that i play, sometimes it freezes but you can get it back and others it out right crashes the wgole game back to the console menu and then i call it a day after that, would be playing a lot more if not for that i just expect it now. Worst i be livestreaming 👎🏽. But since i had this game on my “go for Platinum” back burner for so long I’ll endure it i guess.
Hopefully this means we’re getting a next gen update for 76 or some remakes or spin offs. But they need to capitalize on the massive Fallout hype they have right now.
Crossing my fingers for New Vegas remake in the Fallout 4 engine!
I cant stop playing... love finding the tapes and hearing the stories of the people that used to be around and the mystery of what happened to them. About to meet up with the overseer and hit lvl 50 tonight. Its been a blast so far!
The tapes and journaled lore was actually my favorite thing about 76, having played for a while at launch and coming back to after the show. It’s really so fun to read every terminal, note and journal, it’s fun knowing that the Excavator power armor had a tumultuous design and production period followed by the loss in a competition it was specifically built for. I feel like I didn’t do a ton of terminal reading n stuff in Fo4 but 76 just feels like a perfect reason to scour everything. Particularly before when there were no npcs.
The game was really awesome even at launch, I personally didn’t experience basically any glitches beside the sun rays going through mountains.
I'm really enjoying carrying all the new players through tough events. It's fun.
Had a random 37 join me and a buddy as we were about to separately spam west tek. Little dude showed up just in time for me to open 4 lunchboxes. He followed my buddy, who was the party leader, into his instance and followed him around for a bit and leveled up 5 or 6 times. It was a cool experience.
Yesterday I showed up an Eviction notice and radiation rumble and I was the only one. I have showed up at a few other Eviction Notices this week and all failed. Fun times 😂
Likewise, I managed to almost 'solo' it for the first time after two sub 40 players triggered it. It wasn't until the last minute where other high level players turned up. It felt like a really fun challenge.
For me it’s been refreshing to have to really fight to complete some events. Only 5 of us showed up for MJ earlier today, with 2 players under lvl 75. We came sooooo close, but the last still was destroyed with about 30 seconds to go.
Winning every time gets boring. Now a win feels like a real victory.
I love the events when you do get the noobs to participate. Get a mic on and just shout orders at the new people. If you are super high level, they'll just listen to you. You feel like you are a general commanding the noob army against the horde. It actually makes winning the events considerably more rewarding.
It was up to 70k concurrent players on steam - this number isn’t including consoles, and the 1mil statistic is 1 million players across all consoles over the course of a single day.
makes sense, people already have prime video to watch the show, then the games are free right there.
wondering if the servers are the same for the different pc versions.
Since this is coming straight from the fallout Twitter and by extension, Microsoft, I’m assuming they have access to console numbers as well. Since the steam record broke 70,000 this week I don’t think it’s just pc.
Ps plus also! I just got a ps5 and decidex to install 76. First new character in a long time, i can’t believe they let you start out with level 20 mini builds now! I feel like the first 50 levels are the toughest part of the game, i guess it is good that they get you through some of that now, plus being able to start out the level 20 missions would have been a big plus for me when i first started playing. I decided to go with trusty level 1 and was the only <20 player on my server!
1 million in a 24 hour period vs 30k concurrent. The numbers reported so far are also from Steam only
A lot of people are also playing it on game pass where it's free for everyone who has game pass, I'm in this camp myself
Honestly, my hope is that the devs are seeing just how good this game is doing, and realizing that they *are* doing a great job, and the game *is* really good.
I know there's been this narrative that 76 is bad, and I'm sure that's been hard on the devs. I just hope they see how much everyone is loving it now, and they know that their work is paying off.
I fucking love this game, and there's a ton of us that do. Good job devs.
It's a good game but it needs a refresh.... The combat is pretty bad, often my hits don't seem to register, and I have several maxed out perk cards that never seem to activate (mysterious stranger, grin reaper, four leaf clover) - it's close, but a massive tightening up now it's really popular would give it far greater legs than content updates in my opinion
Makes you wonder how many played Fallout 4, which has had nearly 100k more concurrent players above and beyond 76 for the same duration and for the same reason: the show.
Edit: oh, they said 5 million across the other games, which we know for a fact is mostly Fallout 4. That's bonkers. That's nearly 4 million more players than 76 got. Wow. Insane. 9 year old game. Unbelievable. ***That's*** newsworthy...
I just had a look on steam community tab and Fallout 4 was one of the most active games in my library, i think the only game I own with more players currently online was counter strike
One million players and I saw only 2 visible bases in my server 🤔 … PSA if ur new and want to make money and have a vendor and wonder why nobody is buying from you or visiting you it might be because the default setting on new bases makes your base not visible to other players unless on a team.
Check your settings :)
And welcome to all you new topsiders!!! Suns bright I’ve got free sunglasses in my Vendors 😎
Bethesda is so hot right now.
Starfield, Fallout TV, FO4 Next Gen update, ESVI, FO76 continuing updates….. Todd Howard and all the devs should be very proud of their work. BGS is currently a leading example of what a studio *should* be
Lmao do you work for Bethesda or something?
Starfield: bland and soulless, a game so shallow with such a mediocre setting/world that even modders aren’t bothering to try to fix it
FO4 Next gen: offers almost nothing beyond a handful of in-game items and ultrawide support and will probably break tons of quality mods for no good reason
FO76: still infected with predatory microtransactions and other things to drain as much money from customers as possible (though I hear it’s gotten decently fun)
ESVI: why are you giving credit for a game that has one teaser trailer lmao
Fallout show is good, but likely had little input from BGS and probably doesn’t deserve any real credit
And this is coming from a lifelong BGS fan too lol
I’m asked that at least once a week over at /r/Starfield. It’s a common trope among the BGS haters. Funny how the commenter hates FO76 and its microtransactions, yet here they are lurking in the sub commenting.
Apologies to that one level 20 something who visited my camp just south of Vault 76 on PC earlier today.
For whatever reason one of the two scavengers that were hostile was invulnerable and so I just left the session not wanting my camp to get damaged.
I hope this means we start getting real content again. I miss story based content and expansions like steel reign. Atlantic City and Pitt have been cool but it doesn’t feel like any of the other content in the game except daily ops. (Probably because that type of content is abit easier to make)
I logged back in to my LV3 accounts for the first time in forever. Didn’t even see the show. All I saw was that there was a next-gen patch that improved framerate considerably, so I wanna see whats up. I love the world but 76 at launch was something different.
So far I ran into a party of two who one of them consider to rob me but the lv200+ told him off to leave me alone as I’m starting out. That was a nice moment.
Went to the military training camp and another high level emote wave at me so I wave back. That’s much more refreshing than real life.
I was in the train station and some guy show me the donation box with assumably items he put in there. Then he left.
So far I like it.
I was on GTA:O for a long time and I was skeptical playing this thinking players were just gonna hunt noobs but nah this is the nicest players I ever met lol
Not sure If this is the place for this but as a game pass player, how do turn that vsync off. I've seen the usual advice, go to my games etc but I don't have those folders or files in those places.
A month after this game came out, I bought something at Best Buy and they asked me at checkout if I had Xbox or PS4 and then handed me a copy. Said they were free with any purchase because they couldn't sell them. Crazy
Wow. I am just absolutely blown away at the affect the show had. I had friends that I tried to get to play 76 for literally ***years*** that wouldn't pick it up. They watched the show and have been on 76 every day since lol!
This is great news. FO76 was severely lacking content and had overwhelming bugs when it first released. They then added lots of content to the game and patched most of the bugs throughout the years and the game has been great ever since and only continues to improve. It's great to see more people enjoying the game, it really has come a long way.
I got it Playstation had a sale and it was $8 never played a fallout an I love it... it is giving me trouble with my camp tho ill place it down set my stuff up and next time I log on to play it makes me move my camp it's done this 5 times now 😕
I'm having fun playing it like a single player game and exploring. But I know I'm going to quit once I hit the grind. So much jank in the game, wouldn't be a fallout without it.
I never had the bad launch I was too wary of the truth at the time. Played it years later just before the pit have a character at lvl 200. At a certain point it's just daily grind. Still better than nothing.
I started today from lvl1 instead of 20 because I thought I’d miss some content, I met 2/3 players we waved and moved on, I explored a bit killed some NPC’s and turned on classic radio.
Looks cool, I’ll see how it goes.
I got Fallout 76 (a week ago) before Star Citizen 😂 I'm looking forward to getting into the game there is a lot to it and now I hear a new expansion or something is coming this year??
Maybe....but my opinion is it's because with prime you get the game for free....I know I did....0$mulah for the studio for the most majority of these player
....and and a main Fallout game enthousiat....I said well deserve knowing the problem with the game at launch...tho I am glad it got mostly fix and people will get good time for they 0$
I'm one of those who came back because of the show. I played at launch and was very disappointed with it. Game was stupid buggy, mechanics were poorly implemented, and the lack of NPCs made the game feel dead so I only played like a week if that. I came back when NPCs were added, but it was still kinda a mess and had a ways to go. I started again recently, and I'm legitimately having a ton of fun with it. The world atmosphere feels great, community is really newbie friendly, and the mechanics feel refined. It's far from perfect, but I'm really liking it.
That explains why you couldn't login or got timeouted on entering a world. I wonder how much higher the number would be if all players would have been able to play.
Just stopped in to high five BGS for their Twitter post yesterday recognizing the moment we had achieved 1 million players in one day. Very nice to see so many enjoying what’s been a great escape for over five years. Cheers.
The advertising is really misleading.
What metric is being used to make the claim 1 million people were online today? When the concurrent playerbase hit a peak of 54 thousand today?
Hopefully this signals the need to put resources needed into supporting this game for years until F05 comes out( it will be a while)
I'm pretty sure that is the plan.
To Tahiti it is!
Dammit Dutch! Faith is not a skill perk in this game last I checked!
Just one... LAST settlement Arthur! Have some Gawd d\*\*m faith!!
Arthur! One last Moonshine Jamboree and then we can retire!
You know John, I'm starting to think this here Jamboree isn't part of some great plan to get us to the promised land.
Atuther this is the promise land now where my moonshine
“I’ve marked on yer damn pip boii”
Damn it Arthur I have a plan I just need caps!
It's a magical place.
His delivery of this line later in the series where he glasses over and starts it and then realizes what’s happening is awesome. Clark Gregg is my favorite, he was great in Florida Man, too!
"It sucked!"
arthur never got to see it 🥲
Oh, that’s always been the plan, but whether the devs have ever had the resources they needed is far more arguable.
Yeah... C'mon... We gotta show ESO who the boss is. Bring nuclear winter back now! With numbers up it might do better. It was fun...
Crossplay should get implemented
I want that so bad, and I assumed it would never happen due to bethesda just being bethesda and relying on years old tech forever. But when the head of xbox is complaining about lack of crosssave i'm a little more hopeful.
Xbox should force them kinda. It's ridiculous that I can't play with at very least people on a xbox.
It also sucks that I had to abandon my original character and progress because I transitioned from xbox one to PC
same for switch from ps back to pc
I feel like it less about forcing them and more about teaching them. Elderscrolls online isn't crossplay/save either
No? That's terrible 😕
right? remember that was a disaster at launch too. They maanage to fix a lot of their problems as though go along, but it seems their creaking game engines don't lend themselves well to being a modern online game
It might be extremely difficult depending on how the game was built too.
I feel like their technological progress peaked and stopped after skyrim
They definitely hit a wall with Fallout 4, I remember them saying a lot of the development time was eaten up by something new they were trying to do with the textures and lighting or something to that effect. It wasn’t finished and that’s why some textures are really vibrant and shiny while most others just look kind of muddy.
Spent hundreds on the Xbox version, I’m on pc now and get can’t myself to play it anymore, since crosssave isn’t a thing.
I'd love to have cross save at minimum... I've been wanting to get back into the game but losing all my progress from Xbox and starting over on PC is such a barrier
I'd settle for cross saves
Cross play and cross progression. I bought the game at launch on PS4 and played for about 2 weeks before stopping. But now I am really enjoying the game. And I would definitely but it again on PC if I could get cross progression going. Steam Deck goes with me everywhere, it'd be great.
I pray this happens, a few of us watched the show together but we can't play together because of us being on different systems.
Waiting for this to drag my other platform friends across the wasteland on an adventure
Bethesda has gone on record today they will never do cross play with 76. I have no idea why.
Probably because the game wasn't built with it in mind. When the game was being developed and released, Sony was doubling down on keeping their ecosystem closed and not allowing cross play or cross saves. So Bethesda didn't build it with any plan of cross play or cross saves happening. While I don't work with software, I'd imagine it would require a near rebuild of the entire game to allow for cross play/cross saves.
That makes sense I know it is a big project to retroactively implement something like that. I was surprised when they added it to Dragon ball the Breakers.
I wish too the guy at work started playing but they all got ps5 a to play helldivers while I'm on pc playing by my self
YES!! My sister was given a hand-me-down laptop from our big sister and I was SO ready to play Fo76 with her. The only problem is, IT'S NOT CROSSPLAY BETWEEN XBOX AND PC!! WHY!! I can somewhat understand no crossplay with PS because of the whole "console rivalry" but really, not even PC!! Now I'm a little salty that we can't play together, at least we can play Sea of Thieves together at least :(
Absolutely. Ignore the snobs saying otherwise in this sub 😆
That was always the plan.
It may have always been the plan but now they actually have the numbers to justify it
It's free right now through prime and discounted elsewhere. There's a good chance these numbers won't last, but who knows?
They need to improve the servers first then add new content. Fixing crashing, freezing & lagging should be a priority.
The servers belong to Amazon, they use AWS, though you think now that they're owned by MS/Xbox they would've transitioned to MS/Xbox run servers.
Not only servers, long running glitches too. I'm relatively new, but Bethesda seem to ignore pa freeze, when you don't put core manually
I'd really love just a resolution update for series S and X, on my S it looks like 900p, it's so blurry. I'm playing through fallout 3 again which being one X enhanced runs at 1440p and it's so much easier on the eyes.
To be fair. Fallout 76 looks blurry on my 7900xtx also, with the added bonus that mouse movement is super choppy.
Yup. Todd said we aren’t Getting another fallout until after ES6. It’s been well over a decade and we still don’t know when that’s coming out. If you told me back in 2014 that we were getting gta 6 before elder scrolls 6 I would’ve never believed it

We're probably not going to see Fallout 5, until 2077.
The marketing campaign is going to go too hard
They will, you know FO76 is ine kf the most profitable games even before this. The atom shop makes a lot of cash.
How much you think they bring in on atom shop a month. And what are the dev costs to update and add content/keep current.
Scrap boxes at every camp
Gods I hope so.
Fingers crossed!
Lil map expansion would be sweet
There will be. It’s called Skyline valley. It’s being tested in the PTS right now!
We’re creating a monster like rockstar/GTA online… and not sure that’s a good thing with how long games already take to be released
But in GTAO you NEED ig cash to buy the content, Atom shop is totally optional.
This is nowhere close to GTA online that's one of the most profitable online game components in gaming g history. Half these people will be gone in 3 to 4 months max. People can downvote me all they want but people will be posting activity charts at that time and that's all the validation I need.
If they brought back Nuclear Winter for the PvP players, they'd see an insane increase in users. I'm not sure how they'd monetize that if it was mostly returning players, but more users means it would provide more opportunities to do so, or so it seems to me.
They wouldn't. Nuclear winter died because the player population interested in regularly playing it just wasn't worth the investment. Everyone who loved nuclear winter is under this impression that it was a very successful mode. It was not.
Plus, the hacking was rampant, which caused regular people to stop playing it after they got the rewards, and they were unable to fix the code to prevent it.

It was pretty unique though.
It’s funny, i was just playing Fallout 3 and reading a terminal entry on Vault 76. Apparently there was supposed to be a little over 500 occupants 🤣 close enough.
500? Maybe they forgot the M in 500M
According to the blueprint it was built to host 88 people.

Where are the corpses? I know I saw like a skeleton wearing a party hat near the vault, but that's the only one I found
I found one in a church. I don't know if they're from vault 76 though
Those are 51 dwellers not 76ers, 51 opened way earlier and had a battle royal to see who would win. The vault 51 overseer died a few days before 76 opened

Okey Dokey ! Who knew a show and a free trial would bring in the masses. (Plus I can't unsee thumbs up Vault Boy and not think Cooper Howard anymore)
Helps that the TV show was actually good!
Anyone who played Cyberpunk after Edgerunners came out knew haha That said, the effect is probably even more impactful here since the show is live action rather than animated.
Awesome, I hope Bethesda keeps pouring more resources into it. I only started playing since Wastelanders but it really has improved so much.
Definitely a fun game albeit with a few issues but exploring West Virginia is a ton of fun
Wow that series turned out to be a damn success in more than one way :O Just wish they'd have taken their time to fix all the Bethesdasoft jank. The menus and inventory are still a mess, and sorting armors and trying to get a comprehensive view on stats is a mess. Love Fallout, but It could definitely do with some update to its core systems.
I found the menus way less frustrating in prior games, probably due to the game pausing when you did; so much less convenient to be looking for shit
Not to mention i get a crash probably every day that i play, sometimes it freezes but you can get it back and others it out right crashes the wgole game back to the console menu and then i call it a day after that, would be playing a lot more if not for that i just expect it now. Worst i be livestreaming 👎🏽. But since i had this game on my “go for Platinum” back burner for so long I’ll endure it i guess.
Hopefully this means we’re getting a next gen update for 76 or some remakes or spin offs. But they need to capitalize on the massive Fallout hype they have right now. Crossing my fingers for New Vegas remake in the Fallout 4 engine!
I cant stop playing... love finding the tapes and hearing the stories of the people that used to be around and the mystery of what happened to them. About to meet up with the overseer and hit lvl 50 tonight. Its been a blast so far!
The tapes and journaled lore was actually my favorite thing about 76, having played for a while at launch and coming back to after the show. It’s really so fun to read every terminal, note and journal, it’s fun knowing that the Excavator power armor had a tumultuous design and production period followed by the loss in a competition it was specifically built for. I feel like I didn’t do a ton of terminal reading n stuff in Fo4 but 76 just feels like a perfect reason to scour everything. Particularly before when there were no npcs. The game was really awesome even at launch, I personally didn’t experience basically any glitches beside the sun rays going through mountains.
This game needs cross platform play so badly
Yeah big time
And cross progression
RIP events lol
I'm really enjoying carrying all the new players through tough events. It's fun. Had a random 37 join me and a buddy as we were about to separately spam west tek. Little dude showed up just in time for me to open 4 lunchboxes. He followed my buddy, who was the party leader, into his instance and followed him around for a bit and leveled up 5 or 6 times. It was a cool experience.
Yesterday I showed up an Eviction notice and radiation rumble and I was the only one. I have showed up at a few other Eviction Notices this week and all failed. Fun times 😂
I can carry a basic Eviction Notice. Mutated can get tricky depending on the mutation.
Likewise, I managed to almost 'solo' it for the first time after two sub 40 players triggered it. It wasn't until the last minute where other high level players turned up. It felt like a really fun challenge.
Yeah, it is a much different experience than it was a month ago. It's really fun playing with the new kids.
For me it’s been refreshing to have to really fight to complete some events. Only 5 of us showed up for MJ earlier today, with 2 players under lvl 75. We came sooooo close, but the last still was destroyed with about 30 seconds to go. Winning every time gets boring. Now a win feels like a real victory.
It depends, did a SBQ where for most or it I was the only player over 100. Had another one she was down in under 5. You can solo/lowmam many of them.
I was on a freak server earlier. 15 high level players all spamming the events.
I’m still pretty new. Just got level 40. And was able to kill the big lvl 80 scorched beast with at least 11 other people. Was pretty epic
I love the events when you do get the noobs to participate. Get a mic on and just shout orders at the new people. If you are super high level, they'll just listen to you. You feel like you are a general commanding the noob army against the horde. It actually makes winning the events considerably more rewarding.
It’s been awesome seeing all the new players!!
Wait, how we went from 30k to 1mil? Did i missed something?
It was up to 70k concurrent players on steam - this number isn’t including consoles, and the 1mil statistic is 1 million players across all consoles over the course of a single day.
Also a lot of players got it on PC Game Pass
I got it through the prime bunch giveaway. Which I think brought in a lot of people.
makes sense, people already have prime video to watch the show, then the games are free right there. wondering if the servers are the same for the different pc versions.
Also, the 70k isn't counting game pass players on PC.
Yes they are different things, but I do come away more impressed with over 1 million users across all platforms logged in during a single day.
Yeah I’m super impressed with 1 million in a single day, I think that’s amazing.
Since this is coming straight from the fallout Twitter and by extension, Microsoft, I’m assuming they have access to console numbers as well. Since the steam record broke 70,000 this week I don’t think it’s just pc.
And not everyone on PC plays on steam.
It's on gamepass and Amazon was giving away codes too
Ps plus also! I just got a ps5 and decidex to install 76. First new character in a long time, i can’t believe they let you start out with level 20 mini builds now! I feel like the first 50 levels are the toughest part of the game, i guess it is good that they get you through some of that now, plus being able to start out the level 20 missions would have been a big plus for me when i first started playing. I decided to go with trusty level 1 and was the only <20 player on my server!
1 million in a 24 hour period vs 30k concurrent. The numbers reported so far are also from Steam only A lot of people are also playing it on game pass where it's free for everyone who has game pass, I'm in this camp myself
I haven't seen anyone else mention that it's also free on Amazon Prime right now, for either/both Xbox Or Microsoft Store (PC)

I’m guessing unique players not all 1 million at once
It hit 70k over the weekend on steam, 1 million is total player count, so all systems
They really should fix some of the small tedious bugs they’ve had so it doesn’t rub off wrong
And I still couldn’t get one mother fuc… dweller, to join me in the metal dome today.
Is this why my game on my ps5 keeps crashing? 😅
bro same, I had it crash on me twice yesterday, ps5 too
Honestly, my hope is that the devs are seeing just how good this game is doing, and realizing that they *are* doing a great job, and the game *is* really good. I know there's been this narrative that 76 is bad, and I'm sure that's been hard on the devs. I just hope they see how much everyone is loving it now, and they know that their work is paying off. I fucking love this game, and there's a ton of us that do. Good job devs.
It's a good game but it needs a refresh.... The combat is pretty bad, often my hits don't seem to register, and I have several maxed out perk cards that never seem to activate (mysterious stranger, grin reaper, four leaf clover) - it's close, but a massive tightening up now it's really popular would give it far greater legs than content updates in my opinion
Please just give us crossplay
...and almost five million across all Fallout games in a single day!
well shit looks like I should get back into the game
Makes you wonder how many played Fallout 4, which has had nearly 100k more concurrent players above and beyond 76 for the same duration and for the same reason: the show. Edit: oh, they said 5 million across the other games, which we know for a fact is mostly Fallout 4. That's bonkers. That's nearly 4 million more players than 76 got. Wow. Insane. 9 year old game. Unbelievable. ***That's*** newsworthy...
I just had a look on steam community tab and Fallout 4 was one of the most active games in my library, i think the only game I own with more players currently online was counter strike
76, like skyrim is in the process of becoming a classic, and we are here for it.
76 is def getting better but Skyrim is literally the best selling RPG ever made. I don't see it ever finding that level of success.
One million players and I saw only 2 visible bases in my server 🤔 … PSA if ur new and want to make money and have a vendor and wonder why nobody is buying from you or visiting you it might be because the default setting on new bases makes your base not visible to other players unless on a team. Check your settings :) And welcome to all you new topsiders!!! Suns bright I’ve got free sunglasses in my Vendors 😎
Bring back Nuclear Winter !!
Bethesda is so hot right now. Starfield, Fallout TV, FO4 Next Gen update, ESVI, FO76 continuing updates….. Todd Howard and all the devs should be very proud of their work. BGS is currently a leading example of what a studio *should* be
Lmao do you work for Bethesda or something? Starfield: bland and soulless, a game so shallow with such a mediocre setting/world that even modders aren’t bothering to try to fix it FO4 Next gen: offers almost nothing beyond a handful of in-game items and ultrawide support and will probably break tons of quality mods for no good reason FO76: still infected with predatory microtransactions and other things to drain as much money from customers as possible (though I hear it’s gotten decently fun) ESVI: why are you giving credit for a game that has one teaser trailer lmao Fallout show is good, but likely had little input from BGS and probably doesn’t deserve any real credit And this is coming from a lifelong BGS fan too lol
"Do you work for Bethesda"? What kind of comment is that? Why is it so unfathomable to just let people enjoy things?
I’m asked that at least once a week over at /r/Starfield. It’s a common trope among the BGS haters. Funny how the commenter hates FO76 and its microtransactions, yet here they are lurking in the sub commenting.
Yeah, just lurking around hating and seeking attention. Just ignore and enjoy the game(s). :)
Awesome
Explained the freezing and blue screens
Apologies to that one level 20 something who visited my camp just south of Vault 76 on PC earlier today. For whatever reason one of the two scavengers that were hostile was invulnerable and so I just left the session not wanting my camp to get damaged.
I was turned away at the beginning but def enjoying it now.
I knew the servers were more laggy than normal but damn that explains it 🤣
I hope this means we start getting real content again. I miss story based content and expansions like steel reign. Atlantic City and Pitt have been cool but it doesn’t feel like any of the other content in the game except daily ops. (Probably because that type of content is abit easier to make)
I logged back in to my LV3 accounts for the first time in forever. Didn’t even see the show. All I saw was that there was a next-gen patch that improved framerate considerably, so I wanna see whats up. I love the world but 76 at launch was something different. So far I ran into a party of two who one of them consider to rob me but the lv200+ told him off to leave me alone as I’m starting out. That was a nice moment. Went to the military training camp and another high level emote wave at me so I wave back. That’s much more refreshing than real life. I was in the train station and some guy show me the donation box with assumably items he put in there. Then he left. So far I like it.
I was on GTA:O for a long time and I was skeptical playing this thinking players were just gonna hunt noobs but nah this is the nicest players I ever met lol
Not sure If this is the place for this but as a game pass player, how do turn that vsync off. I've seen the usual advice, go to my games etc but I don't have those folders or files in those places.
Crossplay?
A month after this game came out, I bought something at Best Buy and they asked me at checkout if I had Xbox or PS4 and then handed me a copy. Said they were free with any purchase because they couldn't sell them. Crazy
I just started this week since buying the game at release. Man I’m addicted
Wow. I am just absolutely blown away at the affect the show had. I had friends that I tried to get to play 76 for literally ***years*** that wouldn't pick it up. They watched the show and have been on 76 every day since lol!
I'm just hoping this wholesome community doesn't turn toxic af with the influx of new players
Crossplay would be nice
Love to see it man. Can't wait till they all get high level and are dropping nukes! Hopefully they stay so Bethesda makes better content.
This is great news. FO76 was severely lacking content and had overwhelming bugs when it first released. They then added lots of content to the game and patched most of the bugs throughout the years and the game has been great ever since and only continues to improve. It's great to see more people enjoying the game, it really has come a long way.
I got it Playstation had a sale and it was $8 never played a fallout an I love it... it is giving me trouble with my camp tho ill place it down set my stuff up and next time I log on to play it makes me move my camp it's done this 5 times now 😕
We are so back
Bro what button do I click to build a structure in a camp, I need to build Becketts bar n I’m so lost as to how I get the build menu up
I'm having fun playing it like a single player game and exploring. But I know I'm going to quit once I hit the grind. So much jank in the game, wouldn't be a fallout without it.
1M times the detail
I never had the bad launch I was too wary of the truth at the time. Played it years later just before the pit have a character at lvl 200. At a certain point it's just daily grind. Still better than nothing.
Lets hopw this all leads to more perks/weaps/content
Nice to see it I wish the show was released weekly to maintain this popularity
I wish is was weekly so I didn't rush through it in a day
Awesome!!!!
As a native WVian we thank y'all for playing. Come visit Appalachia!! These are real places! All are welcome.
I started today from lvl1 instead of 20 because I thought I’d miss some content, I met 2/3 players we waved and moved on, I explored a bit killed some NPC’s and turned on classic radio. Looks cool, I’ll see how it goes.
[удалено]
I played this morning. I did my part
Did vault 76 have a cryo lab or cloning facility somewhere?
I’ve seen so many level 20s and it makes me so happy
Thanks to the TV show, I finally convinced my friends to try Fallout 76 after almost 2 years.
I got Fallout 76 (a week ago) before Star Citizen 😂 I'm looking forward to getting into the game there is a lot to it and now I hear a new expansion or something is coming this year??
Maybe....but my opinion is it's because with prime you get the game for free....I know I did....0$mulah for the studio for the most majority of these player ....and and a main Fallout game enthousiat....I said well deserve knowing the problem with the game at launch...tho I am glad it got mostly fix and people will get good time for they 0$
Yep and I waited an hour to login into game from PC version. Everything is going just great.
I'm so proud of our little game, I hope this means better things for the future
Meanwhile still no native ultrawide support. *Cry's in Samsung Odyssey G9*
I'm one of those who came back because of the show. I played at launch and was very disappointed with it. Game was stupid buggy, mechanics were poorly implemented, and the lack of NPCs made the game feel dead so I only played like a week if that. I came back when NPCs were added, but it was still kinda a mess and had a ways to go. I started again recently, and I'm legitimately having a ton of fun with it. The world atmosphere feels great, community is really newbie friendly, and the mechanics feel refined. It's far from perfect, but I'm really liking it.
Wish I could replay it . Need real content past lvl1000 …. Help
That explains why you couldn't login or got timeouted on entering a world. I wonder how much higher the number would be if all players would have been able to play.
No one dare to buy fallout 1st, i dare you mfs i will find you.
Just stopped in to high five BGS for their Twitter post yesterday recognizing the moment we had achieved 1 million players in one day. Very nice to see so many enjoying what’s been a great escape for over five years. Cheers.
Happy Reclamation Day
I just wish they didn’t charge to play offline.
The advertising is really misleading. What metric is being used to make the claim 1 million people were online today? When the concurrent playerbase hit a peak of 54 thousand today?
