Free Fallout Shelter Enjoys Rebirth Thanks to Success of Amazon Series
Fallout Shelter received a strong boost after the release of Amazon's series, as did the entire post-apocalyptic series from Bethesda Softworks.
The adaptation of Fallout has greatly contributed to the entire series of games. The release of the Amazon series last week also had a significant positive impact on the free-to-play game Fallout Shelter.
Just one day after the premiere of this TV show, the daily number of players downloading mobile Fallout was expected to increase by 20% (via Layer Licensing / GamesIndustry.biz). Furthermore, the game's daily revenues increased fourfold within three days, from $20,000 to $80,000.
Fallout Shelter was also supposed to climb to seventh position on the list of most downloaded games in the American App Store. USUN The game has also solidified its position in the Google Play store: in the USA, it rose to 32nd place (from 74th), via AppBrain.
It's worth noting that it's been almost six years since the release of Fallout Shelter, and although the game still has a good number of players, its peak seems to be in the past. However, Amazon's series clearly injected some vitality into the mobile post-apocalyptic setting.
It should be remembered that Fallout Shelter is also available on consoles and PCs. On Steam you can also see the effect of the series' success. Although the game is far from the greatest hits of Valve's platform, the number of players increased significantly after April 10 (via SteamDB). The title has probably also gained many new players on consoles - at least for now.
