I don't know why I'm so open to Fallout 76, it seems to me like Fallout 76 is always focused on improving and finding a bigger audience, it feels like we either need to see this thing hit 10 million across all platforms Monthly activity, or close the game. If you believe that PlayStation Now can support the game to increase monthly activity, then I support the game being launched on PlayStation Now.
