Fallout 4 sales have soared in select European countries following the debut of the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime.
We already noticed increased interest in the Fallout series after Amazon launched its TV show based on the franchise, and as now reported by GamesIndustry.biz, 2015's Fallout 4 was the best-selling game in Europe. This is partly due to the launch of the Fallout TV show, but also due to the discounts on the Fallout games that tie in with the launch of the show on Amazon. According to Gamesindustry.biz, sales for Fallout 4 increased by 7.500% week-on-week, thereby beating sales of Sony's Helldivers 2, EA Sports FC 24, GTA V, and several other high-profile more recent titles. Fallout 4 wasn't the only game that witnessed a sales spike in Europe - Fallout 76 rose to the eighth spot on the list, whereas Fallout: New Vegas claimed the ninth spot. Last in the top 10 is 2008's Fallout 3.

Fallout 4 is available worldwide now for PC and consoles. As said, the game is also available through Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra. We reviewed the game upon release back in 2015. Here's what we wrote back then:
As with any Bethesda game, exploring is the best thing you can do in Fallout 4. There are tons of references for lore enthusiasts hidden in notes, terminal logs and holotapes (which you can either play on terminals or on your Pip-Boy); what's more important is that it's possible to find some great side quests even by accident while moving through the wasteland (or listening to the radio - try to do that as much as you can). Some of the best ones actually moved me and made me think for a minute of real dilemmas that could happen in post-apocalyptic Earth; sadly, most of the side quests actually use randomized and repeatable templates that become stale after a while, such as "go here and kill these guys/retrieve these items".
