I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
A good adaptation can drive further adoption of the source material. We saw it happen with Cyberpunk Edgerunners and Cyberpunk 2077, now we’re seeing it again with Fallout and well, almost every Fallout game.
On Steam where this is most trackable, we have seen 50-100% increases in playercount for games like Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 76. But with Fallout 76 in particular, the most recent game in the series where it pivoted to online multiplayer, it has juston Steam. It had 39,455 peak players this weekend, up from 32,982 back when it launched on April 14, 2020, four years ago nearly to the day.
But Fallout 76 has become a solid turnaround story since its initial release in 2018. It has had many, many updates, with a big turning point being its Wastelanders update back in 2020, right when it launched on Steam. Now, Fallout 76 has one of the most welcoming communities in gaming for new players, and it’s easy to play it like a more traditional Fallout game, even if you want to just play solo and not get involved with the online aspects too much.
It is…somewhat dated at this point. Keep in mind this came out in 2018 and as we all know, Bethesda’s engine is not exactly the most modern to begin with. But the game is fun and it certainly seems worth a try. Those old 52 scoring reviews are simply no longer relevant, but you can’t resubmit to Metacritic so those are locked forever. But this is likely something you want to try for yourself.
