The success of Amazon Prime Video’s live-action adaptation of “Fallout” also boosted the audience for other games in the Bethesda franchise. Even older titles, including the first from 1997, have seen a significant increase in the number of active players.
One of the main beneficiaries of the positive reception of the series was “Fallout 76”, which was never exactly unanimous among the gaming community. The game was criticized by fans due to the serious problems it presented after its launch in 2018.
The official profile of the franchise on https://twitter.com/Fallout/status/1782857892409778254 revealed that, for the first time since its debut, “Fallout 76” reached the mark of 1 million active players in a single day.

In the thread of the same post, Bethesda also revealed that, in 24 hours, more than 5 million players had fun with one of the franchise’s games.
When it debuted, “Fallout 76” presented a series of performance problems and some bugs that ended up disrupting the user experience. To this day, the title has received periodic support and updates, has improved a lot since its launch and, to Bethesda’s delight, is finally becoming popular with players.

As expected, after the positive reception from audiences and critics, “Fallout” will get a second season. As the series indicated at the end of the last episode, the narrative should take place in New Vegas, where more secrets about Vault-Tec’s nuclear shelters should become public.
What is not yet known is where the production will be filmed. The first season was produced in New York, but a proposed $152 million in financial incentives could see the team move to California next year. So far, there is no official confirmation about the change.
