Fallout 76 Reaches 13 Million Active Players Despite Prevailing Controversies

Bethesda's Fallout 76 has reached 13 million active players 4 years after its release, despite being tarnished.

That's impressive

So 95% of these active players must be on console then:

I think the 13M must reflect unique player logins since launch. Not "actively playing" which the Steam metrics represent. I think the author of the article made a mistake, even the wording Bethesda used didn't mention "active" as far as I can tell

They mean all time unique users, I'm pretty sure. Still, 10,000 active users on steam, plus however many are playing on Gamepass PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, is a pretty healthy active number for a game that was supposedly DOA four years ago.

People are bored. Game releases have pretty much stagnated beyond indies and early access. Consoles don’t have tons of options so it must be them playing it. There’s no way it’s 13 million active players though, not weekly or monthly, that has to be miscommunication in some way or another

Maybe broaden your comfort zone or something. Video games and bored dont belong in the same sentence when you have options. Theres so much dope stuff out there from aaa to indies. Theres alot of great games put there.

I play it every so often. Im only like level 21 or something. Id be much more impressed if they cut the always online part or made it optional. Also sprinkle in some real like npcs for f sake. I do find it funny when someone attacks me and i just turn away and walk away. Like wtf dude
