It was to be expected that the Fallout series would give a small boost to video games, in the same way that happened with the release of Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and The Last of Us. However, Prime Video has done a spectacular job and players on Steam (and other platforms) have gone completely crazy.
Everyone has returned to the wasteland after watching the Prime Video series. Just take a look at the website of SteamDB to see the peaks of players who have had four of the main installments of the franchise. Fallout 3 has gone from having 800-1,000 players at a peak of 3,731 in the last 24 hours. It does not exceed its all-time high of 10,401 from nine years ago, but we must keep in mind that this is a video game released in 2008.
A Fallout: New Vegas It was already doing well with 4,000-8,000 regular players, but the series has made the number increase to a peak of 19,505 players in the last 24 hours. His record is very far away at 51,038 players 14 years ago. It was released in 2010. Fallout 4 follows the same line: 17,000-2,000 players over the last year, but has reached a peak of 83,491 in the last 24 hours. His highest was nine years ago with 472,962. We’ll see what happens when the update arrives for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Finally, Fallout 76 is not the installment with the best numbers, but it has broken its maximum number of players: it has gone from having 10,000-15,000 players in the last year to have a peak of 39,455 players in the last 24 hours… which in turn is the historical record of the video game in its six years of life. Although the Prime Video series has the greatest merit, it must be added that the deliveries are on sale on Steam and Fallout 76 has free access.
