Fallout 76 has hit a major player milestone, according to publisher Bethesda.
“Thank you to the over one million of you who adventured with us in Fallout 76 in a single day,” the publisher said on Tuesday.
“… and almost five million across all Fallout games in a single day,” it added in a follow-up post on X.
“It’s amazing to see the large influx of new Appalachian Adventurers, and how our awesome community has welcomed them!” wrote Jonathan Rush, creative director for Bethesda Games Studios on Fallout 76. “A very exciting moment with many (many) more to come!”

Numerous games in the Fallout series have seen their player counts dramatically rise following the release of Amazon’s Fallout TV show on April 10.
It has been well received by critics and viewers alike, with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 93% and an audience score of 88%.
During the week ended April 18, viewers logged almost 2.5 billion minutes watched across the show’s eight episodes, working out to about 5.2 million views, according to entertainment data provider Luminate (via Variety).
Amazon confirmed last week that the Fallout show will return for a second season.
As well as an increase in Fallout game sales off the back of the show, player numbers will have been boosted by giveaways too.

Bethesda announced ’s next-gen update in 2022, and it’s finally here after a long delay. However, PC players might have been better off without it. The massive update adds very little to the PC version and causes more problems than it solves.
The Fallout TV show effect continues. This time, it’s popular mod site Nexus Mods on the receiving end of the double-edged Shishkebab, as its servers struggle under the weight of people rushing to play through the series again - and mod its latter entries into games worth playing, presumably.
In a surprise to no one, Amazon's Fallout TV series has been officially renewed for a second season.
Bethesda really must be feeling very happy right now. Fallout 4 has pip (boyed) its way to the top to became Europe's best-selling game, per sales data from chart numbers company GSD.
There is this little TV show currently making headlines. You may have heard of it. It's called Fallout and it has been met with scores of praise across the board (we awarded it four stars).
Sales of Fallout games have shot up across Europe, with Fallout 4 reclaiming the No.1 spot.
Todd Howard has assured Fallout fans that the franchise's recently-released TV show does not contradict the games' pre-established lore.
Bethesda's very own Mr Handy (director and executive producer) Todd Howard has addressed the controversy surrounding the Fallout TV show's treatment of Fallout backstory, reaffirming the canonicity of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and promising that Bethesda and Amazon are being "careful" to maintain consistency between the games and the TV series. Are you new to this latest lore scandal? Watch out for Fallout Season 1 spoilers ahead, then.
Sea of Thieves has now been played by over 40 million people, according to developer Rare.
Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.
I sort of reject that the Fallout TV show has Easter eggs hidden in it because it, as a whole, is the equivalent of one of those fancy Hotel Chocolat ostrich-sized patisserie collection bastards that cost 40 quid. However. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Fallout show noted that episode 6 gives you a number for Valt-Tec that you can actually get in touch with - 213-25-VAULT (or, 213-258-2858). Charges apply, as well as international codes if you're outside the US, which makes it 001-213-258-2858.
