Surprising Popularity Figures for Fallout Games: How the Amazon Series Boosted the Franchise

A series that won everything

A true childhood dream for some, the film adaptation of Fallout has finally seen the light of day after several years of teasing: Bethesda, fully involved in the project, has therefore partnered with Amazon to a new series on Prime Video. A season 1 that was right with a universe that is very respectful of the original material, a tone that is completely in line with the games and a well-crafted plot: not only did the series rise directly to first place in the platform's audiences , but above all it led to considerable hype among the general public regarding the video game saga.

Total jackpot for Bethesda therefore, which sees its Fallout brand experience unprecedented popularity, while players decide en masse to (re)launch games like Fallout 76, although much criticized, or Fallout 4, released almost ten years ago. Moreover, the latter was neither more nor less than the best-selling game in Europe last week with an increase in sales of 7500%. Just that…

Stratospheric scores

If you thought the excitement around Fallout had died down by now, it's actually the opposite: the statistics continue to inflate. The best example is based on the scores achieved in a single day, with five million players counted across all Fallout games (including a majority on the fourth opus and Fallout New Vegas). Fallout 76, for example, has accumulated one million players in a single person, undoubtedly its highest score since its launch.

And again, let us remember that Fallout 4 has finally received the PS5 and Xbox Series update: the game therefore runs natively on these two consoles with 4K, a better framerate and even fewer bugs (yes, it's never too late). Enough to encourage players even more to immerse themselves in this post-apocalyptic adventureof which our test is available at this address.
