After the release of the series 'Fallout,' it became the best-selling video game in Europe

There are few video game series that can be considered multi-generational, but Fallout is one of them. The first two installments (Fallout and Fallout 2) were released in the late 1990s, while the latest installment, Fallout 4, was distributed in 2015. In between, a myriad of additional chapters have captivated the hearts of gaming enthusiasts: Fallout 3 and many other spin-offs, among the most famous being Fallout: New Vegas. As if that weren't enough, there have been numerous canceled titles: starting with Van Buren and ending with Fallout: Resource War. Since the release of the TV series of the same name, the episode Fallout 4 has become the best-selling game in Europe. Credit is also due to the brother of Jonathan Nolan (brother of the already famous Christopher), and Lisa Joy - previously known for their work on the cult series Westworld and more recently for Peripheral, also for Prime Video, the latter canceled following a writers and actors strike that put the Hollywood industry on hold for months. The release of the series, less than two weeks ago, has satisfied the critics and avid followers of the video game series. Additionally, news of the incredible milestone achieved by Nolan & co. - which led to the prompt confirmation of a sequel - came from Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, who did not miss the opportunity to praise the work of the creative team and the cast.

Salke stated: «Jonah, Lisa, Geneva, and Graham have managed to capture the audience's imagination with this innovative and compelling show. With characters masterfully portrayed by Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan, the series has exceeded expectations, enriching the world of Fallout and promising to delve even deeper into the surreal universe of the series in the next season.» The impact of Nolan's effect on the video game can be translated into numbers reported by SteamCharts, a tracker used within the Steam platform to monitor user activity. In short, since Fallout arrived on Prime Video, the game has been played simultaneously by nearly a hundred thousand users (98,000, to be precise). Since the game's debut in 2015, only once had so many players focused on it at the same time. However, it should be noted that the record was set in the weeks following the release, and the figure of 471,955 players would be literally impossible to even imagine these days.
