But here it does seem to be reflecting a wider trend: looking at the SteamDB entries for both <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/22370\/charts\/#3y\" target=\"_blank\">Fallout 3<\/a> and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/377160\/charts\/#3y\" target=\"_blank\">Fallout 4<\/a> shows an enormous spike in players over April and May 2024 (the show premiered on April 10, 2024). In both cases the player counts shot up by roughly ten times, with Fallout 4 at one point averaging just under 200,000 daily players.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, those are not bad numbers for a singleplayer game released in 2015. G2A further says that Bethesda&#8217;s habit of issuing &#8220;complete&#8221; editions of its games pays off, with over 60% of purchases on its platform being for the &#8220;game of the year&#8221; editions that include additional DLC. &#8220;New fans clearly preferred paying for the full lore experience over the base games,&#8221; notes G2A.<\/p>\n<p>It even says that the show&#8217;s focus has an impact, noting that the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition saw a &#8220;relative market share increase of 12.5%&#8221; during the launch window for season two. Season two of the show, of course, is set in New Vegas.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, even the classics have benefitted. Obviously their playercounts were never going to rival the more recent Bethesda games, but Black Isle&#8217;s original Fallout games saw <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/steamdb.info\/app\/38400\/charts\/#3y\" target=\"_blank\">exactly the same kind of spike<\/a> at around the same times. Even Fallout Tactics saw a boost, which is quite something.<\/p>\n<p>G2A&#8217;s data incorporates every entry in the series apart from Tactics: all editions of Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 3, Fallout 2, and Fallout Classic Collection. Yeah it is all a bit Captain Obvious. But what this should really drive home is that Bethesda needs to pull its finger out, and give us a new post-apocalypse to play around in.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"b54ef515-42c4-46f5-9e5e-757bd9303558\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/captain-obvious-time-the-fallout-tv-series-has-massively-increased-game-sales-even-for-the-90s-originals-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"b54ef515-42c4-46f5-9e5e-757bd9303558\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fallout\/captain-obvious-time-the-fallout-tv-series-has-massively-increased-game-sales-even-for-the-90s-originals\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fallout season two recently ended and, as one of Amazon&#8217;s biggest hits, you can bet it won&#8217;t be too long before we&#8217;re all enjoying season three.
