Fallout has “more than doubled its concurrent players” on Steam following the release of Amazon Prime’s blockbuster TV series.
Despite approaching almost a decade old, Fallout 4 is currently sitting in SteamDB’s top 20 games by concurrent numbers, making it one of the most popular games on Steam this weekend.
But it’s not just Fallout 4 that’s seen a resurgence in players; Fallout 76 and Fallout New Vegas have similarly seen their concurrent player base increase since the TV series debuted on the streaming channel last week.
Just a week ago, Fallout 4 hit a concurrent peak of less than 25K players, Fallout 76 around 13K, and New Vegas barely 7K. Now, the concurrent peaks for all three games have doubled, tripled, and even quadrupled as the show shines a light on Bethesda’s tentpole series.
