Fallout 4 indeed had a successful launch as Bethesda Softworks announced today that they have shipped 12 million copies worldwide, “representing sales in excess of $750 million”.
Major retailers have informed Bethesda of the tremendous consumer interest in Fallout 4, with some noting it was the most pre-ordered game this year. In addition, the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition was the fastest-selling collector’s edition of any game in history at leading retailers. Following the release, Bethesda was advised that launch day sales at some of the leading retail chains were the largest of any game released this year. Bethesda is now shipping more Fallout 4 units to retailers to meet ongoing market demand.
Digital sales of Fallout 4 are also breaking records. On Steam, Fallout 4 became the number one game played, surpassing the previous record for concurrent play with over 470,000 Fallout players. The companion app, Fallout Pip-Boy, became the number one game on the iTunes App Store. Fallout 4 also set the record as the most viewed game launch of all 2015 games, according to Twitch.
Starting next year, Bethesda will release extra content through the game’s Season Pass. If you haven’t purchased the Season Pass, you can buy it on PSN or Xbox Live Marketplace for $30.
