Fallout New Vegas is a mid-size community on Steam, and it is fading. The 30-day average of 2,920 sits 21% below the previous 30 days, and the highest we have recorded, 10,064 on Mar 29, 2026, is now more than six months behind it. Activity picked up in July and August, but the slide since then has been steady.
The biggest swing came in Sep 2026, when the monthly average fell 23% on the month before. Nothing in the recent news lines up with that drop. For a player, this means queues and lobbies should stay easy to find at busy times, with the busiest hour at 01:00 UTC (9 pm ET). Expect a much quieter game around 10:00 UTC (6 am ET).
