Fallout Games Experience a Massive Resurgence After TV Show Success
In the realm of gaming news, the Fallout franchise has been buzzing with excitement thanks to the success of the Prime Video TV series. The impact of the show has been remarkable, with nearly 5 million players diving back into the rich post-apocalyptic world of Fallout in just a single day. This surge in activity spans across all the Fallout games, including both the original non-Bethesda titles and the more recent installments.
Fallout 76 Takes Center Stage
One standout in this revival has been Fallout 76, which saw over 1 million players roaming the Wasteland in a single day. This is a significant turnaround for a game that initially faced a rocky launch. While player numbers from Microsoft, Sony, and mobile platforms were not disclosed, the Steam platform revealed a notable increase in concurrent players across all the Fallout titles available on their platform. Leading the pack were Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, highlighting the diverse player base enjoying the Fallout experience.
Valve Tightens Refund Policies
In other news, Valve, the popular gaming platform, has made adjustments to its refund policy, closing a previously exploited loophole. This change prevents players from racking up extensive playtime on advanced access titles and then requesting a refund following the official release. With the update, Valve has streamlined the refund process and now applies a standard 2-hour playtime limit for all games, even those in advanced access.
Embrace the Dark Side with Star Wars Hot Sauce
For the Star Wars enthusiasts out there, a new culinary adventure awaits with the launch of Truff’s Star Wars Dark Side hot sauce.
