Fallout games continue seeing big player jumps after the TV series’ success

This is the best summary I could come up with:

But when Amazon's Fallout series showed up on Prime and absolutely nailed it, it spurred a lot of players to crack open their libraries and commence some post-apocalyptic replaying.

The game hit its all-time peak of 43,887 simultaneous players on Wednesday, April 17, according to SteamCharts, roughly one week after the Amazon series' debut.

SteamDB, another Steam stats tracker, suggested on X (formerly Twitter) that the Fallout game series as a whole had more than doubled its concurrent player count by April 14.

It certainly helps that most of the major Fallout titles are on deep sale on Steam at the moment, including a Franchise Bundle that gives you pretty much every PC game in the series.

There are references galore to specific creatures, items, technologies, weapons, and esoterica that remind players of the great discoveries the series offers at its best.

Most of all, the show captures, for me, the tone and flavor of the series, both in its first two ultra-arch, often-bizarre CRPG outings and through the Bethesda titles that were more straightforward but offered far more spectacle, combat, and just pure space to dig around in.
