Hey gamers, it’s time to talk about Fallout 76 and its latest update, Burning Springs! If you’ve been chillin’ in the Wasteland since its launch in 2018, you might be wondering what’s next. Well, the developers just dropped some news that might leave you feeling a little mixed.

First off, let’s address the elephant in the room—crossplay. During a recent interview, Creative Director John Rush and Production Director Bill Lacoste confirmed that crossplay is highly unlikely to be added to Fallout 76. They mentioned that implementing such a feature at this stage, with the game now being seven years old, would be a “huge technical hurdle.” So, if you were dreaming of joining your friends on different platforms, it looks like you’ll have to stick to your own.

No Crossplay? Here’s What You Can Expect Instead

Despite the bummer news on crossplay, there’s a lot to look forward to. The Burning Springs update is on the way, packed with new quests, regions to explore, and a bounty system featuring The Ghoul from the Fallout TV series on Prime Video! Fans have responded positively to early previews, and the hype is real!

As Lacoste explained, big features like crossplay are typically planned from the beginning of a game’s development. Right now, the team is focused on offering more content to keep the current player base engaged. While they regularly discuss these features, it’s more about enhancing existing gameplay than making big shifts. Although it may seem like a “no, for now,” they’re not closing the door entirely.

So, if you’re gearing up for the update, mark your calendar for December when the Burning Springs update drops! Are you ready to dive back into the wasteland for new adventures? Keep an eye out for quests and explore all that’s new!
