Fallout 76 features a huge map to explore and adventure through in the nuclear wasteland. But you’re not the only one wondering if you need to be online to play Fallout 76.
Fallout 76 is ONLY available ONLINE
Not everyone can stay connected to the internet 24/7, so it can be a concern for potential players before they buy the game. So, here’s everything you need to know about Fallout 76’s online requirements.
No, you can’t play Fallout 76 offline at the time of writing, and that likely won’t change. Ultimately, the game is meant to be a shared experience with others. It is, at its core, a multiplayer Fallout game. Interestingly enough, Vault 76 is meant to house 500 of the smartest people in the land, and allows vault dwellers to take back the world on “Reclamation Day.” However, if you’re worried about it descending into chaos where players kill each other every few seconds like in GTA Online, I can personally tell you that that’s not what happens.
Players in Appalachia aren’t as aggressive as you might think, and they’ll even help each other out—a miracle, I know. The other night, for example, there was another lone player on the same mission as me, and I stayed behind to help them out. When the online gears are turning just right, it makes for a brilliant experience.
