Sales of video games in Bethesda’s “Fallout” series have surged across Europe, with 2015’s “Fallout 4” reclaiming the top spot, Gamesindustry.biz’s Christopher Dring reports. Sales of “Fallout 4” jumped 7,500% week-on-week across Europe, due to some heavy discounting on games in the “Fallout” franchise across all platforms designed to tie-in with Amazon Prime’s (AMZN) “Fallout” television series, Dring says, citing GSD data. 2018’s “Fallout 76,” 2010’s “Fallout: New Vegas,” and 2008’s “Fallout 3” rounded out Europe’s weekly top ten as well, Dring says. The Fly notes that Microsoft (MSFT) acquired Bethesda in 2021.
