Fallout 4 Sales Up 7,500% in Europe as Bethesda Series Dominates | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Bethesda has managed to successfully spread Fallout fever off the back of Amazon Prime's well-received TV show, with sales of Fallout 4 increasing by a whopping 7,500 per cent in Europe. It was the continent's best-selling game last week, accounting for both physical and digital purchases. Other titles in the RPG series have also made the top 10, like Fallout 3, Fallout 76, and Fallout: New Vegas.

Data shared by GSD confirms Fallout 4 sold best on PC, accounting for 69 per cent of sales. The RPG is readily available on PS Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass, though, so subscribers wouldn't need to buy the game to start playing. Then, it was Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 3 taking the eighth, ninth, and tenth positions respectively. As for the games released before Bethesda bought the IP, the Fallout Classic Collection — which bundles the first two games together along with Fallout Tactics — was the 43rd best-selling game in Europe last week.

The more recent Fallout games are now expected to stay in the best-selling charts for a little while, with discounts making them cheaper than they've ever been and a PS5 version of Fallout 4 arriving next week. Launching on 25th April 2024, it promises new modes focusing on better resolutions and frame rates as well as more content from its Creation Club. Current PS4 owners will get a free upgrade, but if you don't own Fallout 4 yet, you'll want to take a look at the current PS Store sale to get it on the cheap.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Wish they would re release 3 and new Vegas for ps5

Yeah I’ve been tempted back too tbh. Think I’m gonna playthrough New Vegas again… but they’re all pretty good to be fair.

Really curious to see how gow and horizon do when their series comes out.

I definitely have the itch to jump back in
