As the tweets indicate, DeMayo wasn’t the only one who felt compelled to play the video games after watching Fallout. Some users stated that the series was their first introduction to the franchise, which led them to explore the world of Bethesda games.
While hardcore gamers consider the video games superior, most seemed to agree that Fallout was a worthy adaptation of them. Thus, the comments from netizens only reinforced DeMayo’s idea that a good video game adaptation should compell viewers to explore the source material.
Fallout reportedly garnered 65 million viewers in its first 16 days of availability, becoming the second most-watched show in the history of Amazon Prime. Thus, the series has now placed itself in contention for being the best video game adaptation of all time. Consequently, Amazon Prime announced that the series had been renewed for a second installment on April 18, 2024, a little over a week after it premiered on the platform.
Fallout is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
