Bethesda seems quite pleased with how well Fallout 4 is doing because they informed the world today that the game has shipped roughly 12 million units to meet the day one demand. This equates to roughly $750 million in sales. This figure will easily surpass the sales figures for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, depending on how many of those units were sold through to customers.Major retailers have informed Bethesda of the tremendous consumer interest in Fallout 4, with some noting it was the most pre-ordered game this year. In addition, the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy Edition was the fastest-selling collector’s edition of any game in history at leading retailers. Following the release, Bethesda was advised that launch day sales at some of the leading retail chains were the largest of any game released this year. Bethesda is now shipping more Fallout 4 units to retailers to meet ongoing market demand.

The companion app, Fallout Pip-Boy, became the number one game on the iTunes App Store. Fallout 4 also set the record as the most viewed game launch of all 2015 games, according to Twitch.
