Fallout 76Bethesda’s MMORPG, which takes place in the Stand out Universe, is now probably more popular than ever thanks to Amazon’s new TV series. So it makes sense that Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard was asked in a recent interview Fallout 76 And Cross play. And while the possibility for PC and console players to mix seems rather unrealistic, Howard at least seemed more positive about cross-progression.
Since the introduction of the Stand out TV show earlier this month, all of the Stand out Games are enjoying an explosion in popularity. These include the black sheep of the family, Fallout 76. The online-only spin-off has more players than ever before across all platforms. And as thousands of new players rush into the post-apocalyptic open-world MMORPG, like most games in 2024, this is something they could expect Fallout 76 would support crossplay or at least cross-progression. However, if you’re playing on Xbox, you won’t be able to play with PC or PlayStation players, and all your progress will be tied to that platform as well. And while crossplay seems unlikely, Todd Howard seems more open to a future where cross-progression is popular Fallout 76.
In the April 29 episode The Gamecast from Kinda Funny, Howard talked about it Stand out Franchise and the future of crossplay in Fallout 76.
“We’re continuing to investigate, but [Fallout 76] wasn’t designed that way from the start. So we’re obviously getting into server and database silos,” Howard said.
When asked about cross-play or cross-progression, he expressed Bethesda’s opinion on the existing features Become standard in 2024.
“This is what I would say: for us, cross-progression is more important than cross-play – and we actually separate them – we would obviously like to have it all. It’s something we’re looking at, but I will say it’s entirely true [Fallout 76] Planned from the start – a technical elevator. We’re not saying we’re going to do something or don’t do something, we’re just looking at it and seeing what impact it’s going to have on people.”
He continued: “I think it’s very important for the future that we want to move into and that we’ll be very, very careful about it in our future games – especially.” The Progress: When you record a game, “No matter what screen you’re on, you can just carry on with your character and what you were doing.”
Funnily enough, Howard suggested that if employees are upset about something in their games – like no crossplay – they should be given a higher priority and fix the problem.
“If we can’t pick it up and [make progression,] it internally moves it up the stack.”
So we just need some people at Bethesda to be angry with Fallout 76I guess it’s the lack of cross-saves!
