The global success of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime Video is driving interest in the games it is based on. Four titles in the post-apocalyptic franchise re-entered the official game Charts in April 2024. Fallout 4 (2015) makes it to number one, followed by Fallout 76 (2018) at seven, Fallout: New Vegas (2010) at 13, and Fallout 3 (2008) at 20. Bethesda additionally released the free "Next Gen Update" for Fallout 4 on 25 April.

Helldivers 2 remains in second place ahead of EA Sports FC 24, while PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade is new to the charts in sixth place. While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III makes up some ground, rising from 11th to 5th, Capcom's RPG Dragon's Dogma 2 slips from 3rd in March to 15th in April. WWE 2K24 is also on the decline. Rise of the Ronin, which was released in March, is no longer in the top 20. Kingdom Come: Deliverance from Plaion is boosted by the announcement of its sequel and Dead Island 2 makes a return to the charts at number 18 following its Steam launch and the release of its second DLC.
