Fallout 76

Synced is a futuristic third-person shooter with PvE and PvP elements, released in late 2023 by NExT Studios and published by Level Infinite. Despite a notable launch and strong publisher backing, its genre and recent player trend reports indicate significant drop-off post-launch. As a session-based action shooter—not a persistent world MMO—even with co-op and squad features, it lacks the scale and persistence to be considered a true MMO.

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.
