Fallout 4 sees 33% Xbox player increase following latest TV show trailer

Amazon's Fallout show appears to be tempting players back to the video games, as our data shows that the Fallout 4 player count has increased by 33% on Xbox following the TV show's latest trailer.

We've seen a 33% increase in players collecting Fallout 4 achievements since Amazon dropped its fantastic Fallout trailer two weeks ago. In fact, it's not just Fallout 4's player count getting a boost, as multiple Fallout games have increased in Xbox players since the TV show's latest trailer, leading to quite the resurgence for some of the best RPGs on Xbox.

According to our data, which is collected from a sample pool of over 2.4 million global Xbox accounts, Fallout 4 has seen a 33% increase in Xbox players since the latest Fallout TV show trailer dropped on March 7. In fact, Fallout 4 has returned to the top 40 in our Gameplay Chart this week in 38th. That's not bad going for a game that hasn't had any new content since 2016.

I bought it and tried but hated it after a few hours. Waste of my money.

I bought Fallout 76 for $3. Played like 1 hour and deleted.

 

[Vertigo]

I played it. Bought all DLC. Can’t say I remember anything about the narrative aside from the detective buddy.

Best parts of the game is how it embraces Americana and there’s a certain charm and atmosphere to its open world. Otherwise it’s jank for sure.

With that said… I felt that 76 actually became the better game by playing to those strengths in exploration and atmosphere.

Gameplay and builds barely mattered in the single player game. Broken shit and power armor having no real gameplay function other than carrying more weight. On the flip side, your choices and builds matter far more in 76. I wouldn’t mind revisiting it if they actually made an expansion but I dropped it when MS bought Bethesda and don’t care to come back.

It did show me that survival games have a ton of potential… and I get why they’re so loved.

News worthy.

Imagine they had released a Fallout 4 remake...

People get on Sony for their remasters/remakes, but it is clear they have a strategy to optimize their transmedia strategy, whereas Microsoft kind of just lucked out here.

Amazon bought the rights to this show in 2020 before Microsoft even bought Bethesda. So there was no large scale transmedia strategy like we're seeing with Sony.

I noticed a lot of people focused on Horizon's sales or lack of sales on Steam, but they don't realize the game is only selling to people who either A) want to double dip or B) had interest in Horizon but don't own a PlayStation. Once the Horizon TV show comes out and assuming it isn't dogshit, it's going to boost sales of Horizon 1 and 2 on PC and PS5.

If a game is good remakes are a guaranteed money maker Sony Remaking top ips is a smart move and I will double dip eveeytime.

Fallout 4 remake? Not needed whatsoever. You can also download mods to make it more modern if its too dated for you.

Yeah, transmedia campaigns(as we all saw with Witcher and CP2077) work very well in generating interest and driving sales.

It's not even prime time for EU(where Fallout and other games will peak) and it's already at 56,471 CCU.
The last time Fallout 4 had a higher CCU count was way back in May 2016 with a daily peak CCU of 74k.
That was due to the release of the Far Harbor Expansion.

The show is good. I am four episodes in and enjoying it. What's funny is that there isn't a Microsoft or Xbox logo in sight. Lol. The Bethesda logo is the one that pops up in the intro of every episodes. Definitely hoping that rumors of Fallout 3/New Vegas remastered is real since I passed on those games when they were released cause Bethesda games on PS3 was an absolute technical buggy explosion.

 

[Would_you_kindly]

Just watched the first episode thought it was really good
