Fallout on Prime Video is even more popular than we first thought, with an eye watering number of viewers in just over two weeks
Amazon’s official figures have been released and needless to say, it’s beyond impressive. Fallout is now Prime’s second most watched show of all time.

What you need to know
Well, this one gets a big old okie dokie.Fallout on Amazon Prime Videohas been a success, we know that. We’ve talked about it plenty already, and we’ve talked about the knock on impact for the entirety of the franchise’s games.
But, Amazon has given us some numbers, now, and hoo boy, it’scrazy. As shown off in the post on X below,Fallouthas seen over65 million viewersin its first 16 days on the platform.
65 million. Yup.

There is a caveat here, though. Amazon hasn’t disclosed how it’s actually counting those viewers. Could it be that someone is counted if they watch half an hour, a full episode, the whole season? It’s unclear, but regardless, that is a ridiculous number of people.
Per Variety, Amazon has also now bumped Fallout up from being one of its top three most-watched shows, to its second most-watched show of all time. The same report also says that Fallout is the most-watched show ever in the 18-34 age category, and that a sizeable 60% of the audience is from outside the United States. A special shoutout to the UK, France and Brazil, is in order, too.
It’s of little surprise as we see numbers such as these thatFallout Season 2was confirmed little more than a week after the show debuted. Having been in the works for so long, to see that not only did Amazon do the franchise justice, but that fans new and old are loving it, well it makes this old guy feel warm inside.
As I’ve previously written, I think Microsoft and Bethesda havemissed a trick by not having something new for the gamers to look forward to. We have at least had thecurrent gen upgrade to Fallout 4(admittedly not everyone is thrilled by it, though), and for folks new to the franchise, there is a healthy back catalog to play through.
