Bethesda Game Studios, at a media event ahead of the December 2025 Burning Springs update, acknowledged long-standing player demands for cross-play and cross-progression in Fallout 76, saying the features aren’t ruled out but would require a “huge technical lift” to accomplish. 4 Reviews ← exclude selected typesBethesda Game Studios has revisited the hotly debated absence of cross-play and cross-progression in its open-world RPG Fallout 76, which launched in 2018 and has undergone multiple updates throughout the years to address these concerns. He said, “It’s never a no, right?” Meaning cross-play isn’t completely off the table for Fallout 76, but its implementation isn’t exactly feasible given the current progression of the game. Fallout 76 initially launched to widespread criticism for its bugs, empty promises, and lack of single-player options, but now serves a decent concurrent player count of 10,000 daily players. The update also marks the return of Walton Goggins as Cooper Howard from Amazon’s Fallout adaptation, who will serve as a fully voiced quest giver and companion.
