Fallout 4 Skyrockets Back to Top of Sales Charts
18.04.2024 - 17:10 / gamerant.com / Daniel Morris
Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 4 has found itself back at the top of sales charts in Europe, almost nine years after the game's original release. Fallout 4 has seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to the success of the Fallout TV adaptation.
The hype for the Fallout franchise is the highest it has been for years. When the Fallout TV adaptation was first announced, fans of the franchise reacted cautiously. It's a series with a very specific tone, and bringing that to screen was seen as an extremely difficult task, especially with the amount of bad-to-mediocre adaptations seen over the years. However, it stuck the landing, and as a result, the entire Fallout series is getting a big player count boost. It seems that according to sales figures, Fallout 4 is getting a bigger increase than the rest of the series.
In charts released by GamesIndustry.biz, Fallout 4 stands at the top of the European weekly top ten list, which includes physical and digital sales of games across retail stores as well as Steam, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Nintendo Eshop. This represents a sales increase of 7,500% for Fallout 4, beating out titles like Helldivers 2, EA Sports FC 24, and Grand Theft Auto 5 to the number one spot. In total, 69% of these sales came on PC, with a massive number of players hopping in amid the critical success of the Fallout TV adaptation.
However, it's not just Fallout 4 that has benefitted massively over the past week. The top ten list also includes Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 3 in eighth, ninth, and tenth, respectively. While the general interest in the franchise at the moment is behind this kind of increase, it can also be attributed to the ongoing discounts of Fallout titles, which makes it easier for those coming from the TV show to hop in and explore what the games have to offer.
Despite the success of the Fallout TV show, it seems as though players will have to settle for playing the older titles for the foreseeable future. Bethesda remains committed to the ongoing development of The Elder Scrolls 6, and the studio never tends to develop more than one project at a time. While The Elder Scrolls 6 is in a playable state according to the studio, it is still likely a few years away. This means that without a surprising change of direction, any potential Fallout 5 is a long way away. Given the hype that the TV adaptation is generating at the moment, it's almost a shame that there isn't a new Fallout game to capitalize on this.
Fallout 4 is an RPG in the Fallout series, being the fourth major installment. This time around, players are in The Commonwealth, formerly Massachusetts, in the year 2287.
