Just one day after the release of the Fallout TV series, Fallout 76 saw a huge boost in player count, sending it skyrocketing through the charts.
While the Fallout series has always been immensely popular, since the release of the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime adaptation, it has ballooned even more in popularity. New and old fans alike are heading into the apocalyptic wasteland, ready to shoot some radroaches. Surprisingly, the most popular game in the series has been its most maligned, Fallout 76. In just one day, it saw one million players trying the game out.
When Were One Million Players on Fallout 76?
Unfortunately, Fallout 76’s exciting announcement on X (formerly Twitter) did not mention a specific date when the 2018 game reached one million players in a single day. However, according to SteamDB, 73,368 players were seen playing Fallout 76 only days ago. Of course, SteamDB does not give us the exact number of players enjoying Fallout 76, as it only counts Steam users playing the game.
