Summary
The entireFalloutseries has seen an increase in player counts, after the success of the Amazon TV adaptation. WhileFalloutgames such asNew Vegasand4have naturally seen a steady increase, even older titles such asTacticshave seen an influx of returning players.
When theFalloutTV series was first announced, gamers approached the idea with caution. As a franchise with a very specific tone and in-depth lore, it would be extremely difficult for a TV adaptation to fully capture everything that made the games great. However, reviews for the show were stellar, and fans were largely happy with the adaptation, minus a couple of timeline complaints from hardcore fans. EvenFallout’s creator Tim Cain praised the show, with strong compliments for its visual design and ability to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
In a series of Steam charts posted by Redditor Valuable-Garbage, it’s clear that just about every title in theFalloutseries has seen an increase in players. This includes older titles such asFallout Tactics, although its increase isn’t as prominent as games such asNew VegasandFallout 4. It was already clear from the early numbers thatFallout 76is blowing upon Xbox. However, it seems that this trend is continuing on the PC versions of the games.
Fallout Player Counts Are Up For the Entire Series
Gamers in the thread were quick to try to help those numbers even further, pointing out where players are able to find the series of games at a discount at the moment. Right now,Fallout 76is even free-to-play, but this is a limited-time deal to capitalize on the success of the TV show. WithFalloutmania in full swing among the gaming community right now, it’s the perfect time to jump in and give the series a try.
TheFalloutseries is home to several of thebest open-world RPGsever made, and it’s awesome to see it get a resurgence in popularity thanks to the show. There hasn’t been a new title in the series since 2018’sFallout 76, and the wait for a single-player game stretches back to 2015’sFallout 4. Although Bethesda is currently occupied with the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6, it will be interesting to see if the success of the show prompts the studio to speed up any plans for a new title in the series, or if it sticks to its guns and only proceeds once the nextElder Scrollsis launched.
