Fallout 76 has 20M players thanks to boost from Prime series


Fallout 76 has surpassed the 20 million-player milestone, thanks in part to the popularity boost it received from the Fallout show.

Bethesda announced this week that Fallout 76 has passed the 20 million player milestone, six years after the game’s launch. While some of the growth is likely due to the developers continuing to improve the game, the newest upsurge in popularity is thanks to the premier of the Fallout Prime Video series. Bethesda’s Todd Howard told Variety in an interview, “It’s kind of been sneaky popular for a while — but not to this level and it’s just been really great for the for the whole studio… Depending on the ‘Fallout’ game, you’re looking at a 4-6x increase in daily players, which is beyond anything I’ve ever seen in my 30 years of doing this.”
