Fallout 4
Games Which Crushed Infinity War’s Launch Figures
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Skyrim would be on this list somewhere but it’s actually another Bethesda game that had the more impressive launch. When Fallout 4 launched in 2015, Fortune reported $750 million in sales on launch day. Bethesda went quiet after that so we don’t have any specific figures for how well it did in its first five days, but given that it either matched or beat Infinity War’s five day total in a single day, there’s a good chance it’s the winner here.
Fallout 4 brought players to the nuclear wastelands of Boston, USA. It introduced a slew of new mechanics including a base builder and fully-voiced dialogue options. The game received multiple updates via DLC packs, with a meaty story-focused add-on titled Far Harbour arriving a few months after the game’s release.
So hats off to Infinity War for smashing box office records and doing so well critically (we loved plenty about it). In terms of sales though, people often underestimate the games industry, with juggernauts like the games above completely crushing the revenue figures of even the most lucrative of movies.
