The success of the Fallout TV show has led to a massive increase in sales of the series.

According to GSD data (as reported by GamesIndustry.biz), Fallout 4 saw sales increase by more than 7500% compared to the previous week, shooting it up to the top of the European charts. Three other Fallout games also made the European top 10, with Fallout 76, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 coming in at numbers 8, 9 and 10 respectively.

Last weekend numerous games in the Fallout series saw their player counts dramatically rise following the release of the TV show.

The biggest leap was enjoyed by Fallout 4, which had been regularly hitting weekend peaks of around 20,000 – 24,000 for the past six months but saw a peak of 83,491 on Sunday, more than tripling its normal player count.
