Bethesda shares updated player stats for Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online
Despite relatively little public fanfare, Bethesda’s MMO-like experiences – Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online – have both continued to grow steadily over the years. More than a decade on from ESO’s release (and 6 years since FO76), both titles are sitting comfortably around 25 million players each.
In an interview conducted by Insider-Gaming, Bethesda Game Studios’ Jon Rush and Bill LaCoste spoke on the ongoing success of Fallout 76, revealing that since its launch back in late 2018, the game has managed to exceed 23 million players in total. Previous figures put the game at 21 million back in November of last year.
In a similar vein, a recent trailer for the latest update to The Elder Scrolls Online confirmed that it had now reached a new milestone of 26 million players (compared to 25 million in October of last year).
Of course, while impressive figures, with both titles being live service in nature, the number of active players matter more so than total accounts – especially as both ESO and FO76 are on Xbox Game Pass.
Still, while perhaps not the single player RPG experiences which many Fallout and Elder Scrolls fans have been waiting for, it appears as though both Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online continue to find a dedicated audience of players.
