Are the Fallout 76 Sales at Launch in the UK Disappointing

Fallout 76 strips away most of the things we love about Bethesda's Fallout games and replaces them with human-controlled avatars. But while other players are doing the best they can with what they've got, this is a game world that spectacularly fails them on pretty much every level. FALLOUT 76 maintenance is currently ongoing, and servers are down tonight as Bethesda scheduled last-minute maintenance on PS4, Xbox One and PC. In case you have almost any issues about where by in addition to the best way to work with Fallout 76 Bottle Caps, you possibly can email us on our own page.


It appears that the game's negative reception isn't constrained to just written reviews, however, as a new report indicates that Fallout 76 sold 82.4% fewer copies in the UK during its first week than Fallout 4. We don't have any sales numbers for the US, but it is likely that the game is trailing its predecessor in sales here as well.


Spyro Reignited Trilogy is the UK physical chart number one, after it beat the physical launch sales of Fallout 76, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, plus a new boxed version of Fortnite, and Hitman 2. But that doesn't tell the full story of last week - one of the most competitive in the year so far. Spyro sold brilliantly, and Activision's purple dragon deservedly won the UK chart for the first time since his original PlayStation 1 game back in 1998.


Figures have now been released showing the launch sales in the UK for Fallout 76. Perhaps the most notable thing about them is how they compare to the last game in the series, and things don't look good at face value. Fallout 76 sales at launch in the UK are down 82.4% from those of Fallout 4, a huge drop. However, there are a few factors that should be considered too. So, is this a disappointing showing for Bethesda?


A reader discusses the launch of Fallout 76 and how it's contributed to a year that may have killed off more major franchises than any other. Well, this has been quite the week. After the beta think we all realised that Fallout 76 wasn't going to be a classic, but at least assumed that it would brute force its way to a halfway decent score because of the brand, Bethesda's reputation, and the fact that Fallout 4 was pretty buggy too but people enjoy that fine. But no, apparently the game's even worse than imagined.


The wild wastelands of West Virginia are filled with folklore, all brought to life thanks to Fallout 76. One of the most unique monsters in the game is Mothman. This mythical creature half man, half moth is based around one of the real-life legends of West Virginia. Bearing the same name as the Point Pleasant legend, Mothman appeared in Fallout 76 as both friend and foe.


Fresh off the release of the recent PC update 1.0.3.10, Bethesda has announced plans to make the patch available on PS4 and Xbox One. And if the patch notes are anything to go by, it looks like it's another huge update for Fallout 76 fans.
