STEAM DECK NEWS – This is what transmedia is all about: the first season of Amazon’s Fallout series has led many to pick up games from the franchise released over the past decade and a half, and we’re seeing it on Valve’s portable PC as well.

Valve has released its top 20 list for April 2024 based on playtime on Twitter, and sure enough, all four modern Fallout titles were frequently played on Steam Deck, and the list is a testament to that:

Stardew Valley
Fallout 4
Balatro
Baldur’s Gate 3
Helldivers 2
Elden Ring
Fallout: New Vegas
Cyberpunk 2077
Grand Theft Auto V
Fallout 76
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
Monster Hunter: World
Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor
Slay the Spire
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
Vampire Survivor
Hades
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition

So second, seventh, tenth, and twentieth place went to Fallout (and if we replace Obsidian’s development, Fallout: New Vegas, with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, then Todd Howard’s studio, Bethesda Game Studios, took four out of twenty places), which is an excellent showing. This list may have been tainted by Fallout 4’s next-gen update, which rendered the mods unplayable, and the release of the Fallout: London mod, which was scheduled for release in April, was delayed indefinitely.

The success of transmedia has been demonstrated before with The Witcher. When the series was released, the number of concurrent players for The Witcher 3 was higher than ever, and sales increased by 554% (!!!). It’s no wonder that Microsoft is eager to get Fallout 5 out the door, and Howard keeps promising that they’ll speed up development so that Redmond doesn’t take it away from them (they’re working on Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC and The Elder Scrolls VI).

Regardless, congratulations to Fallout.
