That's crazy. Almost seems too hard to believe.

 

[Jigsaah]

I wonder if there will be a new wave of disappointment as these folks find out the obvious flaws in this game. Either way, congrats to Bethesda and Xbox.

 

[dreamstation]

Was this during the free week?

That's crazy. Almost seems too hard to believe.

The game is currently breaking its own lifetime records on Steam, and that's just one of the 5~ ways people can play the game.

I have a group of friends who devote quite a bit of time to this game. Personally I think Fallout 76 is an heresy, but it seems people find it interesting after all. And as this one million is new players only, they have no expectations compared to old episodes so I don't think there will be a lot of disappointments. Especially if they are playing it after watching the series.

But at this point I just hope for the best for Bethesda, their last games were all a big let down. Crazy to look at the downfall of studios like this or Bioware. TESVI needs to be the biggest RPG ever to restore my faith, they need to prove they still have it (sorry for the semi off topic).

 

[Vyse]

I was one of them.

I thought the game was free to play already.

Good to see the show having a positive effect on the games.

Surprisingly, no. But the price to buy it has been pretty low lately.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good numbers. Something stops this train.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I like the show a lot. Amazon have surprised me! Fallout is an iconic series, I never got in to 76 as the whole Multiplayer thing never grabbed me. I like my fallout games single player thank you. Excited to see what they do for the next one and for the remasters that are supposedly in the works.

 

[vodka-bull]

So it just works?

 

[gothmog]

Amazing what happens when you create a good show. It makes people want to explore other content.

 

[violence]

CD project red opened a new studio after a surge of sells from the Cyberpunk anime (or the Witcher, I don't know). Making a show can be a great financial move. It was 100% the reason for The Last of US Part 1 (Remake).

Now I wish Dead Space would get a TV show.

Starfield was their first video game outside the Fallout and Elder scroll franchises; They tried something new and i respect that.

 

[THE DUCK]

Makes you wonder if some game IP holders should foot the bill on making a series, just to spawn more sales of games. I know there is already GOW, etc in the works, and last of us was already done, but what if something like resident evil had a series....oh crap.....nevermind.

 

[Xcell Miguel]

...and almost five million across all Fallout games in a single day!

 

[Mr Moose]

That's crazy. Almost seems too hard to believe.

It's free on Amazon Prime (Xbox and PC).

 

[Buggy Loop]

5 millions across all Fallout????

CRAZY

 

[SmokedMeat]

Crazy what a good TV show can do.

 

[twilo99]

5 millions across all Fallout????

CRAZY

Is it? There are so many of them

 

[Little Chicken]

Congrats to Xbox

 

[Buggy Loop]

Is it? There are so many of them

I doubt Bethesda is counting for Fallout 1 and 2

Fallout 3, NV, 4 and 76

If 76 has 1M, 4M is distributed to 3 games

 

[onQ123]

We about to get a flood of Videogame TV shows & movies aren't we?

Why are you doubting the obvious?

I love how Bethesda has turned their focus onto Fallout instead of the piece of excrement game they just released. Starfield was worse than anyone could've imagine and I'm still kind or in shock over it having spent $100 on this POS. Shocking how a game so hyped from a huge developer backed by MS could turn out the way it did.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Why are you doubting the obvious?

Not sure I understand, english isn't my native language. "I doubt X is doing Y" for me means that they aren't counting Fallout 1 & 2 numbers. Or are you really thinking that millions are off to play Fallout 1 & 2 right now?

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

We about to get a flood of Videogame TV shows & movies aren't we?

Yup...I hate it because it takes focus and time away from these devs. I could care less about any of these shows of some of my fav games.

..... the devs aren't the one making the shows though????

Are the devs really spending much time producing tv series?

 

[gothmog]

Congrats to Xbox

Weirdly enough Xbox doesn't seem to have much to do with it. Probably a big sign that things are moving away from the brand.

 

[rodrigolfp]

congrats to Bethesda and Xbox.

Congrats to Xbox

What Xbox has anything to do with this???

 

[64bitmodels]

shh let them have this one. not nice to take a baby's bottle from em

 

[dorkimoe]

played it a little after it came out, really liked it and got hooked on it. Glad to see people are enjoying it.

 

[lefty1117]

I tried it out for a few hours. I actually kinda like it. Will keep checking it out until I get bored

 

[violence]

Going to try 76 once I finish the show. I liked the first episode way more than I expected.

 

[twilo99]

He was great in Justified

 

[twilo99]

The wild guess is that they own the IP but could be wrong

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Only one dev spent too much time.

Still was flashless at golden globes.

Which dev? What show?

 

[Ribi]

xbox stay winning

im not gnna play that pos again, i preordered it for 35 and still feel ripped off. WHAT MORON THOUGHT THEY COULD JUST USE FUCKING VOICE TAPES TO MAKE THE GAME MOVE ALONG AND 0 NPCs

 

[Three]

I thought this was new registered users based on the title but its DAU based on the tweet. That's pretty impressive still. The show is having a real postive effect.

Its basically Fallout 4 now, with a map shared with other players. At least for first 100 hrs. Didn’t play beyond that.

 

[Roberts]

The wild guess is that they own the IP but could be wrong

And maybe, just maybe supporting it when it barely had any pulse.

Most probably, this is gonna be the new capeshit for a few years if we are particularly unlucky.

I feel like TV shows boost games better then Movies.
