So we’re all playing Fallout 4 again, huh?

Sales for the game rose by 7,500 percent week-on-week across Europe, according to Gamesindustry.biz, with Steam charts showing a similar spike in players that suggests a wider, global trend. Not bad for a near-decade-old game.

The new Prime Video series is likely driving this as we saw a similar phenomenon with The Last of Us following its own TV adaptation.
