The Fallout franchise is thriving, apparently. Bethesda has announced that, across all Fallout games, the series recently hit nearly 5 million players in a single day.
Fallout 76 alone accounted for more than one million of those players. “Holy moly,” the developer said in a social media post. Bethesda did not specify as to which day this milestone occurred, but Fallout player numbers have been trending upwards since the Prime Video TV show debuted on April 10.

Jonathan Rush, the creative director for Fallout 76 at Bethesda, said it’s been “amazing to see the large influx” of players coming to the game. “A very exciting moment with many (many) more to come!” Rush said.
