Fallout 76's Resurgence: Todd Howard Talks Cross-Play and Future Plans
Fallout 76 has seen a significant increase in player numbers, reaching over a million players in a single day according to Bethesda.
根據貝塞斯達的數據，《輻射76》的玩家數量顯著增加，一天之內玩家人數超過一百萬。
However, the lack of cross-play in Fallout 76 has drawn attention, particularly as most multiplayer games now incorporate this feature.
但是，《輻射76》中缺乏跨平台遊戲引起了人們的關注，尤其是現在大多數多人遊戲都包含了此功能。
In an interview with Kinda Funny Games, Todd Howard, Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Bethesda's development chief, addressed the absence of cross-play in Fallout 76, explaining that the game was not initially designed with cross-play in mind.
微軟公司的託德·霍華德在接受《Kinda Funny Games》採訪時s（納斯達克股票代碼：MSFT）的開發主管貝塞斯達談到了《輻射76》中缺乏跨平台遊戲的問題，他解釋說，該遊戲最初的設計並不是考慮到跨平台遊戲的。
"We keep looking into it. It wasn't designed that way from the beginning," he said. "So obviously we get into server and database silos."
“我們一直在調查這個問題。它從一開始就不是這樣設計的，” 他說。“因此，很明顯，我們進入了服務器和數據庫孤島。”
The game had a rocky launch in 2018. But the recent success of the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime, helped propel the franchise's popularity. Meanwhile, Bethesda worked to improve Fallout 76, resulting in a more positive reception from players over the years.
該遊戲在2018年發佈時表現不佳。但是，《輻射》電視節目最近在亞馬遜Prime上的成功推動了該系列的受歡迎程度。同時，貝塞斯達努力改進《輻射76》，多年來得到了玩家的更積極的歡迎。
Howard described the game as "sneaky popular" in recent years.
霍華德將這款遊戲描述爲近年來 “偷偷摸摸地流行”。
In addition to the lack of cross-play, Fallout 76 also lacks cross-progression, which Howard acknowledged as a significant issue.
除了缺乏跨平台遊戲外，《輻射76》還缺乏跨平台進度，霍華德承認這是一個重大問題。
He emphasized that cross-progression is more important to Bethesda than cross-play for Fallout 76, but technical challenges have hindered its implementation. Howard explained: "Here's what I would say, which is for us the more the important thing is cross-progression than cross-play — and we do separate them — we'd love to have it all."
他強調說，對貝塞斯達來說，跨平台進度比《輻射76》的交叉遊戲更重要，但是技術挑戰阻礙了它的實施。霍華德解釋說：“我要說的是，對我們來說，交叉進度比交叉遊戲更重要——我們確實將它們分開——我們很樂意擁有這一切。”
While cross-play and cross-progression seem unlikely for Fallout 76, Howard hinted that future Bethesda games are likely to incorporate these features.
儘管《輻射76》的跨平台遊戲和跨平台進度似乎不太可能，但霍華德暗示未來的貝塞斯達遊戲可能會包含這些功能。
Starfield, their recent single-player adventure, already includes cross-progression between PC and Xbox.
他們最近的單人冒險遊戲《星際飛地》已經包括了PC和Xbox之間的跨界遊戲。
Howard expressed the importance of these features for future games, stating: "Going forward in the world we want to be in, I think it's very important and something that you know in our future games that we're going to be really, really mindful about to make sure — in particular the progression — that where you pick up a game you're able no matter what screen you're on you're able to just keep going with your character and what you were doing."
霍華德表達了這些功能對未來遊戲的重要性，他說：“展望未來，在我們想要進入的世界中，我認爲這非常重要，也是你知道的，在未來的遊戲中，我們將非常認真地注意確保——尤其是進度——無論你在哪個屏幕上，你都能繼續使用自己的角色和正在做的事情。”
