While Fallout 76 will very likely forever be remembered for its disastrous launch and subsequent spate of controversies, the game seems to doing quite well for itself as the years passed. In the latest end-of-year retrospective, Bethesda revealed some key stats which included a unique player count of 13.5 million.

In some ways, that's both a big number but also not - Fallout 4 hit 14 million players within a day of launch, and was itself struggling with a fair bit of critical panning and fan outcry at the time. However, racking up 13.5 million players is still something to be proud of in the gaming market, especially for a spin-off.
