After the success of the recently released Fallout TV show, several Fallout games have seen a boost in playerbase and sales numbers. Now just a week after the game broke its previous Steam all-time concurrent player count, the title has now surpassed its record yet again. According to SteamDB, the title now has over 72,930 peak concurrent players at the time of writing, which is the highest it’s ever had on the platform. Fallout 76 first launched on November 14, 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via its own launcher. It then launched on Steam two years later on April 14, 2020.
