Fallout games are seeing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the release of the Fallout TV series on Amazon Prime. Fallout 4 has seen a doubling of its player count on Steam shortly after the show was released, and now regularly hits the heights of 150,000 concurrent players. Fallout 76 and New Vegas have also seen significant increases in popularity.
Fallout 4 continues to be the most popular game in the series, but Fallout 76 and New Vegas are also seeing a surge in interest. Fallout 76 hit a new concurrent player record on Steam over the weekend when 73,368 fans logged on at once to play. New Vegas peaked at 43,632 over the weekend, which isn’t far from the 51,038 record set years ago.
The resurgence in popularity of Fallout games has also led to an increase in demand for mods. Nexus Mods, a popular modding website, has been experiencing increased traffic due to the popularity of the Fallout TV series. The website has deployed extra resources and staff to deal with the increased demand.
The Fallout TV series has been a success for Amazon Prime, and it has helped to revive interest in the Fallout game series. With the release of new mods and the addition of new players, the Fallout series is likely to continue to see popularity in the months to come.
