TV adaptations of video games drive an average player growth of almost 140%, according to new research by Ampere Analysis. The UK analytics firm reported its findings on September 16, 2025, revealing that video game TV spin-offs deliver a more substantial boost to franchises than film adaptations. Amazon Prime’s Fallout and HBO’s The Last of Us are prime examples of the boost a TV spin-off can provide to a game franchise. According to the analytics firm, by contrast, Fallout 76’s June and December updates increased monthly active users by an average of 17%. The second season of the Fallout TV show is due to release this December.
