The post-apocalyptic world of Fallout is attracting a new wave of explorers thanks to the recent television adaptation! According to SteamDB data, individual player counts for Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 all saw a dramatic rise in the days leading up to the show's premiere on April 11th, with the trend continuing throughout the weekend. 👑 Fallout 4 Leads the Charge: Fallout 4 emerged as the most popular title, reaching a peak of nearly 83,500 concurrent players on April 14th. Fallout 76 followed closely behind with 39,455 players, and New Vegas brought up the rear with a respectable 19,300. Even today, Fallout 4 maintains a healthy player base of around 68,000. 🏆 Fallout 76 Sets a New Record: The surge in Fallout 76 players is particularly noteworthy. Its peak of 39,455 on April 14th marks the highest player count ever recorded for the game on Steam, exceeding its launch numbers in April 2020. 🎮 Classic Fallouts See Renewed Interest: While Fallout 4 and New Vegas haven't quite reached their all-time highs (nearly 473,000 and 51,000 players respectively), they've witnessed a significant uptick in activity. Even the original Fallout and Fallout 2, titles released in the early 1990s, experienced a bump, with player counts exceeding 2,300 and 1,000 respectively. 💊 Fallout Fever Spreads Beyond PC: While concrete numbers are harder to come by for console platforms, particularly Xbox Game Pass, it's safe to assume that the Fallout resurgence extends beyond PC. The television show has clearly reignited interest in this beloved franchise across all platforms. The Fallout franchise is experiencing a renaissance, fuelled by the exciting new television series. Whether you're a seasoned Vault Dweller or a curious newcomer, there's never been a better time to explore the vast and captivating wasteland! (source: https://lnkd.in/eh-HttPS)
I'm sure the sale that occurred at the same time on steam also helped, I picked them up then despite having game pass as mods are easier on steam
Videogames often create amazing stories. Leveraging them through different kinds of content is a great win win for both companies and users imho. Love to see this, the series was a blast!
Im waiting on that next gen update. Loved the show though.
The Fallout TV series is fantastic and gives a great in-depth viewing of the Fallout world. I just wish the Halo series turned out the same way :(
Excellent 👏🏼 well deserved attention
Fallout 76 is now free with Amazon Prime. Pretty sure this also contributed to the grouth.
I'm one of those that picked it back up after the series! Granted very heavily modded now. Lol
The series was such a pleasant surprise. It reinvigorated my love of the Fallout universe, and I'm itching to jump back in!

2moI mean, it doesn't hurt that Fanatical is selling the bundled set of the Fallout games for Steam at a stupidly low rate at the moment: https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/fallout-bundle
