Fallout 76 julkaistiin marraskuussa 2018, ja melkein kaikki oli pielessä. Sittemmin peliä on nostettu suosta pitkään ja hartaasti, ja tuloksia on toki saatu. Peli on nykyisin aivan toisenlaisessa kuosissa kuin silloin joskus.
Viime viikolla Microsoftin suoratoistolähetyksessä koskien Zenimax Median kauppaa esiintyi myös Bethesdan mies Todd Howard. Hän kertoi, että julkaisussa meni melkein kaikki pieleen, ja apua haettiin Xbox-pomo Phil Spenceriltä.
"When that game launched, the litany of issues we had, we let a lot of people down. There was very little we didn't screw up, honestly. One of the people that I called was Phil. I said, 'Hey you know there's many things we're dealing with, what advice do you have?' And he put me in touch with some people at Xbox who were able to look at all of the games in the system and what was important and what wasn't important for games that made it for the long-haul."
"And that kind of advice really, really helped us and now, seeing Fallout 76 being one of the most played on Xbox ... we're just incredibly fortunate to be there."
