Some of Bethesda’s Fallout games have seen an uptick in sales recently in Europe, and a massive portion of this could be attributed to the Amazon Prime Video Fallout series.
According to GSD data (via GamesIndustry.biz), sales in support of Fallout 4 have risen by 7,500% week-on-week across Europe. Sales include both physical and digital copies sold in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany.
It’s worth nothing that these sales likely aren’t all contributed to the show. All of the Fallout games are on sale right now, with massive discounts in exchange for each title. 69% of the sales reported this week were on PC (where the games are on sale), while the other 31% were on PlayStation and Xbox. As a result, it earned number one on the European Weekly Top 10.
This isn’t the only Fallout game to crack the top 10–Fallout 76 came in at number eight, with 85% of its sales being on PC. Behind that was Fallout: New Vegas at number nine and Fallout 3 at number 10.
It’s also worth pointing out that this isn’t the first time a video game has seen sales increase because of its show. Earlier last year, The Last Of Us Part 1 saw a big increase in sales following its HBO premiere.

Wow, that’s pretty cool to catch four Fallout games making it into Europe’s top 10 charts after the show’s release. It just goes to show how much hype and excitement the show has generated in favor of the franchise. I bet a lot of people are going back to play the older games in preparation for the new one. It’s always nice to see some adoration in support of the classics, even alongside all the new games coming out. Hopefully this means we’ll get even more Fallout merry in the future. Can’t wait to catch what’s next for the series!
