The Fallout TV show has only been out for a week, and fans are going wild for Bethesda’s RPG series. Now, Amazon Prime and Bethesda are already gearing up for Fallout Season 2.
But the excitement isn’t just on the small screen—PlayStation and Xbox players are going back into Fallout 4 after watching the show. Since its debut on Prime Video, sales of Fallout 4 have skyrocketed, jumping a whopping 7,500% despite being released in 2015.
According to Games Industry, Fallout 4 is a big hit across Europe, even surpassing popular co-op game Helldivers 2. While Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 are often praised as the top RPG games in the series, Fallout 4’s surge in sales may come as a surprise.
One reason for Fallout 4’s popularity could be its availability on current-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Xbox players have an added bonus with many older Fallout titles available on Xbox Game Pass. Although Fallout 3 and New Vegas are on the PS Plus games list, you’ll need a Premium-tier subscription to access them.
If you’re itching to jump into the Fallout universe, now’s the perfect time. Fallout 4 and its multiplayer counterpart, Fallout 76, are on sale for a steal.
PlayStation users can grab Fallout 4 for just $4.99/£3.99 on the PlayStation Store, while Fallout 76 is slightly pricier at $7.99/£6.99. Xbox owners without Game Pass can also snag both games for $4.99/£3.93 and $7.99/£6.99, respectively.
With Fallout Season 2 on the horizon, you’ll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in these worlds. Prime Video has confirmed the show’s renewal, and it’s rumored that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy will be back in the producer’s chair.
According to a California Film Commission report, the second season’s budget is estimated at a whopping $152 million—$2 million more than the alleged budget for Fallout 4 itself.
