Bethesda Is Offering FALLOUT 76 For 33% Off After A Historically Bad Launch

This war has definitely changed, as Fallout 76 probably won't repeat Fallout 4's vast success. Just to remind you the scale of the previous Fallout game, Fallout 4 sold 1.2 million copies on Steam in its first 24 hours of release back in 2015 with almost 470,000 concurrent players on launch day, breaking Grand Theft Auto V's record and selling more copies in early 2017 than TESV: Skyrim.

Following the embarrassing press coverage, Fallout 76's sales are seemingly far from ideal, as Bethesda has already discounted the game 12 days after its official launch. In this very moment, you can buy Bethesda Softworks’ latest offering for €40 on Bethesda's official store, basically confirming that the huge Black Friday sell-off didn't help and thirty-three percent off isn’t a great sign for Fallout 76 either.

Just in the UK, Fallout 76's physical sales are in fact down 82% from Fallout 4. While retail sales are not saying much about games' overall sales in this day and age (as digital copies are more popular than ever), the fact that Bethesda still hasn't shared any Fallout 76 numbers is worrying, and with a small player-base, it will definitely be much harder to convince players to give Fallout 76 a (second?) chance.

Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Skyrim and Fallout 4, welcome you to Fallout 76, the online prequel where every surviving human is a real person. Work together, or not, to survive. Under the threat of nuclear annihilation, you’ll experience the largest, most dynamic world ever created in the legendary Fallout universe.
