Fallout 76

Fallen Earth is an MMORPG released in 2009, set in a post-apocalyptic open world. It had cult popularity but has been through shutdowns and relaunches, with aging technology and low ongoing development. Its current community is very small, though it remains functional with periodic small updates and a loyal fanbase.

Fallout 76 is a 2018 online open-world survival RPG from Bethesda. After a rough launch, the game's player base stabilized thanks to consistent content updates and improvements. While its concurrent popularity never matched leading MMOs, its cross-platform presence and support allow it to maintain a smaller but steady loyal community. As of 2024, daily active players are estimated around 30,000–40,000 based on public sentiment, recent expansions, and visible in-game activity, particularly after updates or events.
