Fallout games multiply their number of players after the premiere of the series

The debut of the Fallout series on Prime Video last Thursday has had a notable impact on several games in the saga owned by Bethesda Softworks, which over the weekend has experienced a sudden increase in the number of players on Steam. Not all titles that launch a series manage to revive their interest among the gaming community. This requires a good production, and Fallout is a very good adaptation as well as one of the highest-rated series so far this year.

The game that has done the best with the premiere of the series has been the veteran Fallout 4, which on Sunday registered more than 83,000 concurrent players on Steam, when it is normal for it to have peaks of at most 13,000 simultaneous users. Fallout 4 has been on the market for nearly a decade, but it is the latest mainline entry in the franchise and continues to receive attention from Bethesda Softworks. The company announced last week that on April 25 it will launch a native version of Fallout 4 for PS5 and Xbox Series, which will allow you to play at 60 FPS and with improvements in quality and performance. It will also add new content.

Fallout 76, a spin-off In the form of an online game, it has also taken advantage of the momentum of the series to register nearly 40,000 concurrent players on Steam, a record since its launch on this platform in 2020. Typically, the title has between 10,000 and 13,000 simultaneous players. For its part, Fallout: New Vegas, a release developed by Obsidian and highly rated by players, rises to 19,500 simultaneous players, when it normally has just over 5,000 customers, while Fallout 3 reached 6,700 concurrent users, six times more than usual.

On the occasion of the premiere of the Prime Gaming series, which like Prime Video is part of Amazon's Prime subscription, allows you to claim some Fallout games, but in the Microsoft Store, GOG or Xbox, so this action has not influenced the increase in players on Steam. The Fallout franchise is currently on sale in the Valve store.

Regarding the series, it seems that the second season is already underway. Amazon has not yet commented, but last week the California Film Commission granted the series a $25 million tax credit to move production there, according to reports Variety. The budget is 153 million dollars. The first season was filmed primarily in New York and Utah.
