Fallout Games Surge as Prime Video TV Series Helps Drive Close to 5 Million Players in a Single Day

Ever since watching the Fallout show, I can’t get enough of it. The show was my introduction to its world, and the ending only inspired me to dive deeper in the worlds of the video games that inspired the show. Everything from the evils of Vault-Tec to the eccentric characters fascinated me. Clearly I’m not alone — the game series received an influx of players following the release of the show — but not everyone can commit to playing the games. It can be a massive time investment and even require hundreds of mods to play. Luckily for me, I’ve found a great way to experience the games without actually playing them: Watching clips on TikTok.

We finally have the full for Prime Video‘s superhero series. The first three episodes will be released on Thursday, June 13, with weekly episodic releases following through July 18. It will consist of eight episodes.

For all long as the Fallout franchise has been around, it has never been set outside of the United States. Of course, its over-the-top, retro-futuristic Americana satirization is a core aspect of what makes Fallout, Fallout, but on new few occasions, large chunks of the series’ fanbase have wondered how locations outside of the US are faring in Fallout’s post-apocalyptic setting, and whether they could fare as suitable settings for a future Fallout game.

More people are flooding to the Fallout series than ever before, and if you don't want to wait in a queue or experience the lovable jank of the older Fallout games, then Fallout 4 or Fallout 76 is the first port of call. In fact, the latter is currently experiencing its highest ever player base since launch, meaning there are loads more people than usual heading to Appalachia to get their post-TV show Fallout fix.

The Fallout craze continues to pay dividends for Bethesda. Earlier this week, the studio announced that Fallout 76 surpassed one million daily players across all platforms for the first time since its launch in late 2018. The multiplayer game is one of the top sellers on Steam (and elsewhere), largely thanks to various promotions and offers that have, however, since ended. On Valve's PC platform, the game reached 73.3K concurrent players last Sunday.

If you haven’t turned on your TV recently, then you may not know about the Fallout show that was just released and one that we already consider more impressive than The Last of Us, which is saying a lot. The show is based on the games, and this surge of popularity has driven a lot of people to pick up the last game single-player game in the series, Fallout 4, to the point where even the studio that made it, Bethesda, is releasing a next-gen update for it. So, if you’ve never played it before and want to pick it up or want to revisit the world of Fallout but on PC, you can grab this deal from CDkeys that discounts it way down to just $8 from the usual $50.

Almost five million players were immersed in a Fallout game across a single day as a result of the TV show's popularity, Bethesda has revealed. Without saying when — but presumably on the weekend — the franchise's official Twitter profile shared that more than one million people played Fallout 76 within a single 24-hour period. Then, when taking the entire RPG series into account, there were nearly five million users on that same day.

The massive success of the Fallout TV show is inspiring millions of people to play the games on which the Amazon Prime series is based.

The ongoing success of the Fallout TV show has fuelled renewed interest in the Fallout games ever since it hit Prime Video, and now Bethesda has confirmed just how big an impact it’s made.

It’s no secret that Amazon’s Fallout series has done wonders for the video game franchise, resulting in higher player counts for Fallout 76 and Fallout 4. The former has done quite well, with the officialFallout Twitter announcing over one million players in a single day for the online title.

Fallout 76 has hit a major player milestone, according to publisher Bethesda.

Fallout 76 has hit another impressive milestone as the game manages to reach 1 million consecutive players in a single day. As the online multiplayer entry in the franchise, Fallout 76 has seen a major uptick in player count, and it's now seemingly reached a fever pitch.
