Steam is not the only platform on which the game is presently experiencing a resurgence;Fallout 76has also been blowing up on Xbox consolessince mid-April, having hit its highest player engagement since 2022. Although the release of its TV show tie-in is widely accepted as the driving factor behind this popularity surge, it is ostensibly not the only thing feeding into the ongoingFalloutcraze. Another move that likely helped amplify the game’s current momentum arrived in the form of a recent week-long sale that saw Bethesda discount the RPG by 80%, matching its lowest-ever price of $7.99. The offer was available across all platforms, including the PlayStation Store.
OtherFalloutgames have also been experiencing a popularity surge since the release of Amazon’s TV series. E.g.,Fallout 4has reappeared at the top of the European physical and digital sales charts earlier this week, eight and a half years since its original launch.
