Microsoft also expects similar sales for Fallout 5, which will become the next game on which Bethesda Game Studios will focus after The Elder Scrolls 6.
Several Microsoft documents, which were supposed to be edited, were recently published on the Internet in an unredrined form, as a result of which there was a leak of details about everything: from Microsoft’s plans for the cloud console of the next generation, the new Xbox controller with tactile feedback and much more. Updated data on the sales of a number of games Bethesda also appeared as part of the same leakage.
The most remarkable among them is Fallout 4. Since back in 2015, Bethesda announced that on the day of release the role -playing game was sold in a circulation of 12 million copies around the world, no further updates about its sales were received, however, according to the documents recently published as a result of leakage, Fallout 4 as of 2020 About 25 million KPIs were sold for a year (which means that at the moment this figure is probably much higher).
It is interesting that the document also mentioned that in 2020 The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim was sold about 40 million copies. Earlier this year, director Todd Howard said that more than 60 million copies of Skyrim were sold around the world, which means that fantasy role -playing game was sold another 20 million copies in about three years.
Microsoft also mentions the document that it expects Fallout 5 to be set about 25 million units, as well as its predecessor. It was previously confirmed that Fallout 5 will become the next game, over which Bethesda Game Studios will concentrate after The Elder Scrolls 6, although, given the fact that the latter has only recently entered the early stage of development and until the launch of more than five years, we can say with confidence with confidence that a lot of time will pass before the next main game Fallout is released.
