Fallout 76 Veterans Chose Friendship Over Fights, Much To The Devs' Surprise

As you might expect, the Fallout TV series on Prime Video has sent a lot of new and returning players to Fallout 76. But not even Bethesda could have predicted the warm welcome that these newcomers received from the preexisting players in the game.

While speaking with The Game Business, Fallout 76 creative director John Rush expressed his shock at the cooperative spirit and sense of camaraderie that's emerged in the game.

"I'd say a lot of the onboarding was done by our wonderful community who was recognizing all of these fresh vault dwellers emerging from Vault 76 and setting up camps outside of that and giving them free stuff and showing them things and 'look at what I built,'" said Rush. "So it was very much a concerted effort between us and our community welcoming this new influx of brand-new players and returning players alike."
