Approximately 12 million copies of Fallout 4 were shipped in to retailers on day one, Bethesda has announced, “representing sales in excess of $750 million”.
While the figure does not represent the actual number of copies sold through to consumers, Bethesda says that it was “advised that launch day sales at some of the leading retail chains were the largest of any game released this year”.
The company also says that it is “now shipping more Fallout 4 units to retailers to meet ongoing market demand”.
The game’s Pip-Boy Edition, meanwhile, which included a replica plastic Pip-Boy, was also “the fastest-selling collector’s edition of game in history at leading retailers”, the publisher says.
“A huge thanks to our fans that’ve made this all possible,” said game director Todd Howard. “After four years of development, it’s not complete until our fans get to play it and make it their own. We can’t wait to hear about their adventures.”
Fallout 4 launched worldwide on PS4, Xbox One and PC last Tuesday, November 10.
