Fallout 4's launch was a huge success. Bethesda announced today that the game shipped 12 million copies worldwide for launch day alone, "representing sales in excess of $750 million." In addition, the game is generating "record sales" at brick and mortar stores and across Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and PC.

// Mod Edit:

For comparison, Skyrim was 7 million for launch: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=452244

// Mod Edit 2:

Since some people are asking if this is an industry best record, Call of Duty: Ghosts shipped $1 billion worth on day one: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/06/call-of-duty-ghosts-sells-1-billion-into-retail-in-24-hours

It is still quite high up there on the list of launches though.

It's pretty fun. Good for them.

Loris146 · Nov 13, 2015

Simply insane.

lazygecko · Nov 13, 2015

Did that beat Black Ops 3 within the same time frame?

Dance Inferno · Nov 13, 2015

Those NFL ads paid off.

Kenzodielocke · Nov 13, 2015

10 million on consoles then ?

Wow.

I've been glitched into invulnerability somehow, but I still think they deserve every dollar of that. Incredible game.

Visualante2 · Nov 13, 2015

No microtransactions
No multiplayer
No problem

DragonKnight · Nov 13, 2015

Wow. And it felt like the game had like zero hype to me.

BreezyLimbo · Nov 13, 2015

Holy shit 12 million? That has to be some sort of record

Count of Monte Sawed-Off · Nov 13, 2015

It's a great game. Deserves every cent.

OrbitalBeard · Nov 13, 2015

Pretty incredible.

Please INVEST a good chunk of that money for a significant shake up on the next wave of games

time to finally break free and push some boundaries guys

I dont want to see this hate topic flood again.....

Boke1879 · Nov 13, 2015

Insane. Can't wait to see how much of that is on consoles

There's no way that many people bought the game. I know these are shipped numbers.

No QA either.

thomasmahler · Nov 13, 2015

It sold 1.47m on STEAM according to Steamspy - So that means it sold 10m on consoles? If so... holy shit at those numbers.

Edit: Ah, shipped. That makes more sense.

12 million? todd howard..

Newtype-001 · Nov 13, 2015

Nice

This is why Bethesda gets away with it

Memory · Nov 13, 2015

Good lawd, grats to them I'm having a ball 20hrs in.

The title and article both say shipped...

FelipeMGM · Nov 13, 2015

Great game, Im loving it so far. An WOW, those numbers are huge.

Stunning

kiguel182 · Nov 13, 2015

Great numbers but shame they dropped the ball when it comes to performance in the consoles.

Still, I wish I had time/money to play it. All this Fallout talk just makes me want to play it in spite of all the issues.

moggio · Nov 13, 2015

Great news. Perhaps they can spend some of that money on a new engine.

Oh okay. Would be interesting to know how much it sold-through. Oh well. Guess it's around 8-9 million on consoles, and 1.5-2 million on PC?

Edit. Okay, Skyrim sold through 3.5 million and shipped 7 million.

Look out for Fallout 5 on future gen, with the same problems as last gen and current gen but an over all enjoyable game.

It's making shed loads of money, they won't change a thing. The next Elder Scrolls will be using this engine as well.

RPGamer92 · Nov 13, 2015

Now they can make a new engine.

Jumping Chief · Nov 13, 2015

This comes to no surprise to me.

Sulik2 · Nov 13, 2015

And this is why they don't bother fixing their engine. Everyone buys it broken.

Wow.

How do you come to that conclusion? That's an insane ratio if true.

Mpl90 · Nov 13, 2015

There must be quite a lot of overshipment (at least, for now), but it's also true that the game is doing great on Steam (almost at 1,5 millions already), so it's not like it's not selling, quite the contrary. NPD November datas (whatever we'll get) will probably highlight this pretty clearly. Or just upcoming European sales. It's gonna be huge. Congratulations Bethesda anyway.

nib95 · Nov 13, 2015

What the hell...I Honestly didn't think there was that much hype for it. Was expecting at least a few million less than that figure.

lyrick · Nov 13, 2015

That's a lot of copies.

Does Zenimax allow retailers to return unsold Merch for credit? Do Shipment numbers have any meaning beyond the sales hopes of a publisher?

Ryng_tolu · Nov 13, 2015

Holy. Fucking. Shit. That's impressive... never expected it to be THAT huge.

Well, deserved. Congrats Bethesda.

Infurino · Nov 13, 2015

Absolutely crazy.

Duffman · Nov 13, 2015

That's absolutely crazy for a single player only game.

Congrats, Bethesda.

Lime · Nov 13, 2015

Jesus that's a shit ton.

No more shipments for a long time I imagine.

Boogalogist · Nov 13, 2015

Holy shit. This is crazy impressive! Well done!

soultron · Nov 13, 2015

Really want to see actual sales numbers.

Lion Heart · Nov 13, 2015

I personally believe these short announcement to release date windows help big games like this. Announcing a game 2 years before release, you end up numbing your hype to the audience who grow weary of all the drip fed content and eventually over exposure.

Hopefully more devs follow suit.
