Fallout 76 Reaches 21 Million Players, Asks For Labor of Love Nominations
One of the most controversial games in the Fallout franchise has officially reached over 21 million players and has now taken to social media to ask fans to consider nominating Fallout 76 for Steam's Labor of Love Award. Fallout 76 first launched in 2018, and had a bit of a rough start at launch. The game was pretty bug-ridden (much like many Bethesda games), but it is now in a much better place. Similar to how No Man's Sky started, the developers have been putting a ton of work into the game to make it more playable and add more content. This includes significant updates such as Milepost Zero, which added Legendary crafting and new delivery quests for players to participate in.

Players have many opportunities to provide their feedback to the team at Bethesda Game Studios via Reddit, X, Discord, and more. Additionally, there is a Player Test Server where those who opt in can provide actionable feedback for the game.
