Overview
- Fallout 4 climbed from roughly 20,000 concurrents to a peak of about 44,000 on January 4, according to SteamDB.
- Fallout: New Vegas rose from around 8,000 daily players to just over 19,000 near the same early‑January peak.
- Fallout 76 reached just under 30,000 concurrents after the early‑December Burning Springs expansion lifted it from roughly 10,000 to around 20,000.
- Fallout 3 roughly doubled to close to 200 concurrent players, and Fallout Shelter spiked following a show‑themed update that added series characters.
- The increases trail the franchise’s first‑season surge in April 2024, when Fallout 4 peaked near 187,000, with reporters noting the recent Steam Winter Sale likely contributed to the latest gains.
