How Many People Are Still Playing Skyrim And Fallout Daily

. According to the Fallout 4 Steam Charts, they're averaging around 40,000 active players a day on PC alone. Whenever new content arrives it can blast up to 75,000. That's also not including people playing offline and playing on the Xbox One and PS4, which would mean there's at least several hundred thousand Fallout 4 players engaged with the game everyday.

For The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, _ the numbers are roughly the same on Steam Charts. They fluctuate on a daily basis from 30,000 up to 70,000 depending on what mods are released or whether or not some new content is available. Again, this also doesn't include people playing offline. In the case of _Skyrim, unlike Fallout 4, it not only has an Xbox 360 and PS3 audience but thanks to the new Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition there's also the added contingent of Xbox One and PS4 users boosting the engagement numbers. So it's quite possible that they really could be maintaining millions of engaged users on a daily basis across the various iterations of both Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

Unfortunately, we don't have the console numbers to cross reference this data with. What we do know is that the PC versions of both games have managed to sell tens of millions of units.

If a game like Diablo 3 can come out with new “content” or seasons every quarter and attract say 100,000 gamers after 6-7 years I think these games would likely be in the same realm.

Played both. Enjoyed both. No need to revisit.

Playing Stardew Valley now. Great game and the back story about the game’s creation is awesome.

“Battlefield I”

I haven’t even gotten through the campaign yet because my 9 yr old hogs the ps4. Nonstop Destiney, Titan Fall 2, Battlefield 3, Plants vs Zombies.

New content never arrives, they've officially abandoned it. No new DLC, only mods which are randomly provided by the community and don't count as "new content".

As a guy near 50 that played D&D with dice, Skyrim was just fantastic. Played through the end 3 times and still get on to dabble maybe once a month.

Doesn’t look like the ugly world of Fallout 1-3 to me.

My oldest son plays Fallout 4 and creates mods. Since I don't know the first thing about the game, other than what I've seen on his videos on YouTube, I'll simply provide the link to his YouTube page titled Red Rocket TV:
