Fallout Shelter Downloaded over 70 Million Times on App Store

After the fiasco that Batman Arkham Knight witnessed, any PC gamer could only hope that all future AAA titles are free from bugs and at least playable.

While Fallout 4 has a release date set in the near future, players can already experience the world with Fallout Shelter on the iOS devices.

We are not really sure if the game is so good or if people are really crazy over the franchise. But, Fallout Shelter is the most popular game on the app store. It has already attained the number one position within a couple of days since its original launch. It is coming to Android devices as well and from the way it has broken so many records on the existing platform, it wouldn’t be surprising if the success is multiplied on the Google platform.

Over 70 Million Downloads

Candy Crush saga is the most popular game on the app store for many years. The game is a simple puzzler where you match colors to break the candies so as to progress to the next level. It is a free to play game where you will end up spending hundreds of dollars in cash and it paved the way for the developers to make money to unprecedented levels. But, no one in their wildest dreams would have imagined that a PC and a console game’s offshoot could take the mobile world by storm.

Fallout’s last game in the series got launched about seven years ago and no one knew Bethesda would announce a sequel in the E3 2015 conference. It was considered to be a rumor until the last minute when the publishers officially confirmed it. They not only confirmed that Fallout 4 is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One but also announced a free to play mobile game for the iOS and Android platform.

Take Shelter and Help Others

The idea behind Fallout Shelter is to create your own place where civilians from around the world will come to stay. They need resources to survive including food, a place to stay and if everything is favorable, they will even give birth to babies. The concept is very similar to titles like Sim City and simulator games where you have to make sure the citizens are happy.

The game has already broken plenty of records on iOS and when it gets launched on Android, it is going to be a tough time for games like Clash of Clans and Crossy Road.
