We knew that Fallout 4 was going to be big, and now we know just how big. Bethesda announced today that it shipped 12 million copies of its signature post-apocalyptic open world shooter RPG on launch day alone, totaling about $750 million. Followup shipments, the developer says, have already begun. As point of comparison, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 sold-through “over $550 million” in its opening weekend. These are different stats, so they’re difficult to compare, but this definitely confirms Fallout 4’s status as either the, or one of, the biggest games of the year.
“A huge thanks to our fans that’ve made this all possible,” Game Director Todd Howard said in a press release. “After four years of development, it’s not complete until our fans get to play it and make it their own. We can’t wait to hear about their adventures.”
Bethesda also announced that Fallout 4 set a record for number of concurrent players on Steam with a whopping 470,000.
