The Fallout universe is experiencing one of its best moments in recent years. The impact of the Amazon-produced TV series has gone far beyond the screen and is having a direct and measurable effect on the classic games in the franchise within the Xbox ecosystem.

According to recent data collected by GamesIndustry.biz from Alinea Analytics and Video Game Insights, interest in the saga has skyrocketed during the holiday season and the start of January, with figures reflecting a massive return of players to the Wasteland.

Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 see a surge in activity after the series

On Xbox, Fallout 4 has reached almost 100,000 daily players in early January, a surprising figure for a title originally released in 2015. The surge coincides directly with the premiere of the second season of the series, which has rekindled interest in exploring the post-apocalyptic world created by Bethesda.

Meanwhile, Fallout 76 has also experienced its best moment in a long time. The online RPG recorded its highest activity peak in December, during the airing of the new season, and reached an estimated maximum of 235,000 simultaneous players across all platforms on December 30th.

The phenomenon is not limited to Xbox. The data shows that both Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 doubled their daily active players on Steam, in addition to experiencing a clear increase in sales on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. The conclusion of the analysts is clear: the second season of Fallout has acted as a true catalyst for the franchise.

With this landscape, it is clear that Fallout has not only returned to the center of the conversation but has once again become one of Bethesda’s most active and relevant franchises, demonstrating the enormous power that a well-executed TV adaptation can have on the legacy of a historic saga.
