Fallout games have enjoyed considerable boosts in terms of sales and player numbers over the last week or so, thanks to the success of Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, and that continued over the weekend. Fallout 76, in fact, once again hit a new all-time peak of concurrent players on Steam on Sunday, surpassing its previous record of over 39,000 players (which it set last week), and nearly doubling it to land at 73,368 concurrent players (via SteamDB).
Fallout 4 enjoyed an even bigger boost. On Sunday, it hit a peak of 164,190 concurrent players on Steam, which is roughly twice as many concurrent players as it had at its peak last week, and the highest that number has climbed in nearly a decade, since late 2015. Last week, it also emerged that Fallout 4 had topped the best-selling charts in Europe, with sales growing by a whopping 7,500 percent.
Meanwhile, other modern Fallout games continued seeing increasing activity and engagement from players as well. Fallout: New Vegas, for instance, hit a peak of 43,632 concurrent Steam players on Sunday, falling slightly short of its all-time peak of over 51,000 concurrent players. Fallout 3, on the other hand, hit over 11,000 concurrent players, setting a new peak for itself.
Recently, Amazon announced that it had officially greenlit its Fallout series for a second season.
