Following the success of Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, daily active users were 225% higher for Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 in the weeks following the show’s premiere last April.
That’s according to a report conducted by Sensor Tower, which looked into the effect film and television adaptations are having on the games they’re based on.
Sensor Tower found that sales of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 rose 125% and 410% respectively, as both games dropped in price during the week of the show’s premiere.
The series boosted DAUs for mobile spin-off Fallout Shelter, too, which increased by 77% while in-app purchases revenue jumped 150%.
App downloads of Amazon Prime Video grew by 20% during the week Fallout debuted. Amazon has since announced a premiere window for its second season โ December 2025 โ and greenlit a third series.
Sensor Tower also collated data on HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, and Warner Bros. box office smash with A Minecraft Movie.
It found that DAUs for The Last of Us Part 1 and Part 2 rose 40% following the premiere of the show’s second season on April 13, 2025. HBO Max also saw a 6% increase of app downloads.
In contrast to Fallout, Sensor Tower noted that the “results for The Last of Us hinged on bringing new awareness to the franchise” rather than the “free-to-play” nature of Fallout Shelter and “the uniqueness of the show’s story from the game.”
The Last of Us has since been renewed for a third season, with HBO’s programming EVP Francesca Orsi telling Deadline that there will likely be four seasons of the show.
As for A Minecraft Movie โ which surpassed $550 million in ten days โ mobile in-app purchases rose 44% while console games saw an increase of 36% during the month of its release.
Sensor Tower noted a 9% spike in mobile players for Minecraft in contrast to a 41% increase on console following the film’s premiere.
As reported by Deadline, Warner Bros. has since confirmed there is a sequel for A Minecraft Movie in the works.
