Fallout 76 crossplay is still in the works, Bethesda says
When it first launched in 2018, one of the biggest issues many took with Fallout 76 was how empty the world was without NPCs. The Wastelanders update finally brought life back to Appalachia in 2020, but players continue to press for cross-play so they can travel the Wasteland together regardless of platform.
During a video interview with Fallout 76 creative director Jon Rush and production director Bill LaCoste, Rush said, "We are looking into it, and we have plans to try to scope out what that work is going to entail for us," before adding, "It's just not in the immediate plans for us.
We know players want it." LaCoste outlined why adding cross-play now is difficult: "It's just huge technical hurdles that are things that you tackle before release, during your actual development of the product," he explained.
