Fallout 76 has hit another impressive milestone as the game manages to reach 1 million consecutive players in a single day. As the online multiplayer entry in the franchise, Fallout 76 has seen a major uptick in player count, and it’s now seemingly reached a fever pitch.
Released back in 2018, Fallout 76‘s initial reviews were mixed, but years’ worth of updates have turned the game into a fun online experience set in a post-nuclear Appalachia. The Fallout franchise has a long history, but Fallout 76 is the first and only online multiplayer iteration of the series. Since the recent release of Amazon Prime’s live-action adaptation of the franchise, Fallout is arguably more popular than ever, and the various games are racking up the player counts to prove it.
Fallout 76’s Meta Build Is The Ultimate Power Fantasy
Few RPGs allow players to become a jack of all trades, which makes Fallout 76’s meta build both a guilty pleasure and the ultimate power fantasy.
Fallout 76 has managed to reach 1 million players in just one day, which is an incredibly impressive achievement for the game. Just a few days ago, Fallout 76 broke its concurrent player record on Steam. That momentum is clearly continuing as the game now reaches a massive number of players across all available platforms.
Fallout 76 Reaches 1 Million Players in a Single Day
- Fallout 76 reaches 1 million players, with the Fallout franchise as a whole reaching nearly 5 million in one day.
Although it’s impressive enough that Fallout 76 has managed to reach such a high number of players, all the games in the Fallout series have seen a massive boom in player count. The deep lore of Fallout is one of the biggest draws of the games, and it appears that Amazon Prime’s adaptation has made many viewers hungry for more. There has been a big surge in players for each game, but the online multiplayer nature of Fallout 76 makes it an exciting way for fans of the show to experience more of the world with their friends and other fellow players.
Last year, The Last of Us franchise saw a similar spike following the huge success of Max’s live-action series, and it appears that Fallout is getting the same treatment. However, Fallout has the advantage of having so many different titles to choose from. If someone prefers a single-player experience, then Fallout 4 is a thrilling adventure to start with. However, if someone wants to experience Fallout‘s vast world with other people, then Fallout 76 is the route to take, and it appears that many have jumped at the opportunity.
Fallout 76
Fallout 76 is a new horizon for the long-standing series, giving players an MMO world to explore, where they can meet other players and embark on quests with them.
