A member of the Bethesda Customer Support team appeared to confuse Redfall with Fallout 76 while replying to a user's Steam review of the new title. Pressure continues to mount on Bethesda and Arkane Studios as Redfall garners negative reception from players and critics alike for the game's poor state at launch.Before the launch of Redfall, early previews and the lack of a performance mode on Xbox Series X|S caused concern for many players that were once excited about the new title from Arkane Studios. These concerns were well warranted as Redfall launched with several technical issues and lackluster features. Frustrated players would review bomb Redfall to voice their complaints, and head of Xbox Phil Spencer would go on to publicly share his own disappointment in Redfall's launch. Redfall appears to mirror the problems Fallout 76 once faced during its own launch, and Bethesda Customer Support may have confused the two games when addressing a user's review on Steam. Twitch streamer PatStaresAt shared a screenshot on Twitter showing that Bethesda Customer Support confused Redfall with Fallout 76 while responding to a Steam user's review. In the Steam review, the user Avarize does not recommend Redfall for its terrible crashes and performance on PC, and a developer made an official response on behalf of the Bethesda Customer Support team. Bethesda is sorry to hear about the technical issues that Avarize encountered while playing Redfall, and the developer shares links that direct the user to pages featuring Redfall's minimum PC requirements and a help article for troubleshooting. However, the developer's response also tells the user to open a support ticket for Fallout 76 instead of Redfall.
