Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush and chief producer Bill Lacost revealed the performance of this multiplayer online Fallout series in a recent interview.Although the interviews mainly focus on introducing cross-platform multiplayer gameplay functions for the game, they also mentioned that the number of players in Fallout 76 is growing, with the current number of active players in the game reaching about 23 million.

Although the growing player group is a good thing for Fallout 76, it is worth noting that the player group of the game is in a split state between different platforms: PC players, PlayStation players and Xbox players each play in independent server environments.This also raises questions about whether cross-platform online functionality will be added to the game.

“Players keep asking us this question,” Lacost said. “For us, achieving cross-platform online is more of a technical challenge. It’s not that we haven’t considered it, but we actually think about it.”

"But overall, there is no specific plan to introduce cross-platform online at present, but we are indeed often asked about this, so we are also constantly considering it. Maybe there will be action in the future."

"Fallout 76" has maintained stable content updates.Recently, the game launched a major update "Fission Trace".Apart from a lot of other content, this update introduces phishing as a game mechanic to Fallout 76 for the first time.Since the update was released, players can use baited fishing rods to catch fish, and the caught fish can be used as material for the production of other systems.

Rush previously talked about the possibility of introducing cross-platform online to the game when the "Ghost Light" was released in the 20th season of "Fallout 76".At that time, he also mentioned that Amazon's adaptation of the Fallout series successfully brought more new players to the game.

“The game continues to be successful,” Rush said. “After the episode aired last year, we clearly saw significant results – the episodes have given the Fallout IP more attention. So many people have begun to try Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76. Fallout 76 is still booming and the number of players is growing. We have too many creative ideas to do, and there is no plan to stop development. We will continue to support the game, serve players and advance the story. Now is the perfect time to venture in the wasteland world with friends.”

Speaking about the cross-platform online issue of Fallout 76, Rush admitted that there may be some technical limitations that hinder the development team: "We have discussed cross-platform online capabilities in the past, and there are many technical limitations. I don't rule out the possibility of future implementation, but I also recommend that players don't have to look forward to it."
