Fallout 4 topples Helldivers 2 on Steam as Amazon show brings post-apocalypse to new fans

The Fallout show appears to be successful in more ways than one as the decades-long franchise is reaching new heights following its release. The latest entry, Fallout 4, has even pushed into the Steam Top 10, toppling the likes of Helldivers 2 to earn a spot.

According to SteamCharts, Fallout 4 is sitting at a massive 160,000 concurrent players at the time of writing. It peaked at nearly 170,000 in the past 24 hours, competing with games such as Stardew Valley, GTA 5, and Manor Lords (which was released two days ago on April 26). Fallout 4 is also the fifth best-selling Steam game currently, and its live-service counterpart, Fallout 76, sits in the number three spot. We’ve seen video game adaptations come and go, but it is likely that Amazon’s Fallout show has been one of the most influential in terms of generating sales for its source material.
