The Fallout franchise continues to thrive in the wake of the captivating TV adaptation, with Fallout 76 emerging as a standout success. The multiplayer spin-off, initially met with skepticism upon its 2018 release, has undergone a significant transformation through numerous expansions, gradually regaining the favor of players. The recent launch of the Fallout TV series on Amazon has further ignited interest in the franchise, resulting in a record number of players flocking to Fallout 76.
Bethesda proudly announced that the game surpassed one million players in a single day, a testament to its resurgence. The surge in popularity is attributed not only to the TV show’s influence but also to substantial discounts, making the title accessible to a wider audience on PlayStation and Xbox at an affordable price of £6.99.
The renewed attention has extended to Fallout 4, which has witnessed the most significant increase in player count since the TV show’s premiere. Steam Charts reveals that Fallout 4 currently ranks among the top ten most played games on the platform, surpassing Helldivers 2 and Destiny 2.
Despite the resurgence of Fallout, Bethesda remains focused on the development of The Elder Scrolls 6, which remains the primary concern for the studio. The anticipated release of The Elder Scrolls 6 is not expected before 2028.
