I'm told war will never change, but its popularity will certainly fluctuate — and sometimes it will soar if you can harness the power of Walton Goggins. In an interview with Variety, Todd Howard said the Fallout game is getting the attention of players thanks to the Amazon TV series. "Depending on the fallout game, you're seeing a 4-6-fold increase in players every day," Howard said, "This is beyond what I've seen in my 30 years doing this.According to Variety, the daily player count for Fallout games has soared to more than 4 million players since the premiere of the Amazon series on May 500. Fallout 76 has seen a sharp increase in players, especially as the faces of millions of fresh vault dwellers emerge to walk down country roads. Howard says ithas been "despicable popularity for a while," but according to variety, Fallout 76 has more than 12 million players from 1700 million in the 2000 months. Fallout is the latest sign that we are firmly in a new era for game adaptations, reflecting the well—documented phenomenon of the Netflix bump: Cyberpunk anime will increase the number of Cyberpunk players in 2022 by 2077, and Arcane will increase the number of League of Legends players in 2021 by almost 50%. With a % increase, The Witcher show helped The Witcher 3 beat 100,000 concurrent players on Steam - more than it was playing at the time of its release. The joke was that a movie or TV adaptation of the game would be dreck in most cases. Now it makes sense just as the video game series is so popular that it will reach beyond existing fans and ignite a new passion for the game: if people get hooked on your fictional world, spend a lot of time there once they run out of shows to watch. Still, even in Bethesda, the scale of Fallout's surge in popularity seems to have been unexpected. "It's a big thing to bring a lot of people into the game you have and have an event that you've never played your game before," Howard said. "It's a really, really unique moment."If you're wondering which fallout is worth reclaiming in 2024, like the people who have been flooding my timeline since May, we've got a lot of our Chris Livingston named Fallout 4 as the top contender for the current fallout, but if you prefer an online post-apocalypse, the most fun way to do it is with Fallout 76."
