Does anybody here remember the once-doomed Fallout 76? It was that game we got when all we really wanted was to play Fallout 4 with our friends.
However, thanks to the roaring success of the Fallout TV show, millions of players, in a single day, are getting to experience the disappointment we once did, and I’d be lying if I said that that didn’t tickle the Vault Corp inside of me and make just a little bit happy…
Just on Steam, Fallout 76 managed to reach its all-time player peak with over 73,368 concurrents reported on Sunday—which is crazy when you consider its previous peak was only 32,982 on the platform.

It’s not just Fallout 76 that’s seen a revival, either. Fallout 4 just hit a 24-hour peak of 160,000 players, and Australia’s IGEA has just listed Fallout 4, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 76 among its top five best-selling games.
But now I want to know if the show inspired you to jump back into the Fallout gaming universe. If so, which game are you returning to? There are no wrong answers unless you say Fallout 76, in which case, no. Just no.
