A Fallout 4 player has created an enormous junk-themed town within the game. Fallout 4 has had a huge increase in players recently, thanks in part to the renewed interest from the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime. Fans have been getting involved in almost every Fallout title, from the original games to the more recent Fallout 76.

Fallout 4 has a central game mechanic around building settlements, so much so that it’s part of the main questlines with a character named Preston Garvey. Fallout 4 was the first game in the franchise to establish player structures in this capacity, with the next title, Fallout 76 taking inspiration from the mechanic with its C.A.M.P. system. There have been a few expansions focused on this aspect of the game in Fallout 4, with Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop.

Fallout 4's Player Count Has Increased Over 629% Since the Fallout TV Show Released

The Fallout series as a whole has gained a ton of renewed interest since the Fallout TV show’s release, with Fallout 4 player counts increasing by over 629% in April. Fallout 4 has been one of Bethesda’s best-selling games, selling over 25 million units since 2015.

Fallout is one of the most revered RPG franchises of all time, originally created by Interplay Entertainment in 1997. It wasn’t until Bethesda got a hold of the franchise that it went mainstream with Fallout 3. In 2008, it was followed up with a spin-off, Fallout: New Vegas, arguably one of the greatest RPGs of all time. The Fallout TV show was released in April to critical reception, which renewed interest in the franchise since Fallout 76’s release in 2018. Fans continue to hold the franchise dear, with some players recreating their favorite characters in Fallout 4 to this day.
