According to the latest data from GSD (as reported by GamesIndustry.biz), Fallout 4 experienced a staggering 7500% increase in sales compared to the previous week, propelling it to the top of the European charts.

The synergy between the TV series and the game franchise has resulted in a massive surge in popularity for Fallout 4, as well as other titles in the series.
Notably, three other Fallout games, Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 3, secured spots in the European top 10 alongside Fallout 4. This achievement highlights the enduring appeal of the beloved post-apocalyptic universe created by Bethesda Game Studios.
The Fallout TV series has not only captivated audiences with its gripping storytelling and immersive world-building but has also reignited interest in the Fallout games themselves.
