Fallout 76’s Missing Feature Is Driving The Head of Xbox Crazy

Fallout 76 is something of a rags-to-riches story, having been released in 2018 to a woeful reception but then hitting its stride a year or two later following copious updates from Bethesda Game Studios. It’s now a gem of a game, even if a lot of the ****-hard Fallout fans in the community refuse to acknowledge its existence.

However, despite being a multi-platform multiplayer title with plenty to see and do, it’s missing one key feature: crossplay. For years, fans have cried out for Bethesda Game Studios to implement cross-progression, cross-save, cross-platform mechanics… Cross anything.

Phil Spencer, the Head of Xbox, is the latest Fallout fan to stress his irritation at the lack of these mechanics in the game.

, Phil Spencer was talking about handheld gaming devices, and as part of that conversation, he was discussing the concept of having all your games in one place – saves and all. He then went off on a tangent, explaining how Fallout 76 ‘drives him crazy’ because it doesn’t have cross-save functionality:

Are all of my games there? Do all my games show up with the save files that I want? I’ll tell you one game that doesn’t right now — it’s driving me crazy — is Fallout 76. It doesn’t have cross-save.

That means that if you’re playing Fallout 76 on Xbox Series X and then you boot up your PC – or in this case, your handheld device – you’re loading into a different save because there’s no crossover functionality.

It seems like a staggering oversight for a game that’s supposed to be the sole Fallout experience Bethesda Game Studios is offering for the foreseeable future. It’s a no-holds-barred multiplayer adventure set in a vast post-apocalyptic world, but players are locked into their chosen platform and rendered incapable of exploring the wasteland with their friends if they’re on a different platform.

Is it easy to implement? Probably not. Is it something that would help fuse the Fallout 76 community and remove those digital borders? Definitely.
