Breaking their weak ass player count record for 76 is such a low bar. For reference Fallout4 is at 471,955 palworlds peak player count was 2,101,535 and stardew is 236,614. Puts 39,434 into perspective

Fallout: London, which is a large mod for Fallout 4, has a fan-made Fallout game set in the UK, just released three weeks ago. My guess is that a lot of people are playing Fallout 4 modded with it.

EDIT: No, I take it back. It was scheduled for three weeks ago, but it looks like they're holding off until after an upcoming Fallout 4 update to make sure that it doesn't break anything.
