Todd Howard thinks Fallout 76 launch would’ve gone better with Xbox Game Pass
The Bethesda veteran thinks Fallout 76's launch would've been🌳 much better supported with Xbox's subs🐠cription service

Todd Howard has opened up on the problems Fallout 76 faced when it launchཧed.♛
Yesterday, during a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:roundtable discussion between Xboxꦕ and Bethesda, Todd Howard said: "When [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 76] launched, the litany of issues we had, and we let a lot of pe🦩ople down, and, well, there was very little we didn't screw up honestly,"
It's a brutal but fair reflection on a game that many felt ultimately missed the mark on understanding what made Fallout so good: a lived-in world and meaningful characters and quests, all of which Fallout 76 was missing at launch nearly thre▨e years ago.
♏Now though, Howard feels as though Bethesda's acquisition by Xbox will help the former's game be better-tested before launching. In ꧃fact, Howard even implied that had Fallout 76 launched on Xbox Game Pass, the game's earlier months would have ultimately been easier to weather. Howard even claimed that Fallout 76 is one of the most played games on Xbox Game Pass to date, an impressive feat considering the games on offer.
Fallout 76 is now available on Xbox Game Pass, having been added to the subscription service back in July 2020. Yesterday, during the Bethesda and Xbox roundtable discussion what the acquisition of the former by the latter would entail for both parties, it was revealed that 20 Bethesda games would be ar🌳riving on Xbox Game𓆏 Pass immediately.
There's now the likes of Dishonored, Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Evil Within, Fallout 4, and many more Bethesda games available on Xbox's streaming service. During the roundtable, Xbox boss Phil Spencer hinted at fuꦕture Bethesda games being available on Xbox Game Pass on day one, and even made comments about future Bethesda games being exclusive to Xbox 𒁏platforms.
As for Fallout 76, there's a general consensus among players that Bethesda has largely turned things around since the disastrous launch in 2018. A whole host of additions over the last three years have really gone a long way to breathing life into the game, including NPCs, quests, factions, and multiple expansions, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查✃询:like the most recent Steel Dawn expansion, which introduced the famed Brotheꦫrhood of Steel to Fallout 76's Apꦐpalachia.
