Bethesda Softworks have announced that Fallout 4 shipped 12 million copies worldwide, on its launch day this past November 10th.
The publisher made a note in saying this milestone represents “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,” Bethesda said in a press release. “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,” the company explained. “Bethesda is now shipping more Fallout 4 units to retailers to meet ongoing market demand.”
Bethesda also went on to mention digital sales of Fallout 4 are also breaking new grounds, noting the game was the number one most-played game on Steam. The Fallout 4 companion app, Fallout Pip-Boy, was also the number one game on the iTunes App Store.
Fallout 4 is available now across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Our review for the game is forthcoming.
