SuperData: Bethesda rules VR charts with Fallout and Skyrim

If 2016 was the Year of VR, at least from a hardware perspective with the launch of the Rift, Vive, PSVR, and Daydream, then 2017 must have been the Year of VR Software. We not only got amazing breakout experiences like Lone Echo and Echo Arena, but some of the market’s biggest games got VR adaptations and conversions in the form of DOOM VFR, Skyrim VR, and Fallout 4 VR. As far as Bethesda’s concerned, that dedication seems like it could be paying off.

According to research firm SuperData, both Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR topped the sales charts for 2017 on PSVR and PC, respectively. Skyrim is only available on Sony’s flagship headset and Fallout 4 is still, technically, exclusive to the HTC Vive on Steam.
