Pornhub’s Traffic Drops Dramatically On Fallout 4’s Release Date

Pornhub, one of the world’s leading adult video sites experienced a dramatic decline in traffic on the release of Fallout 4. Surprised?

Porhub reported to GamesBeat that it saw a 10% drop in traffic among gamers following the Fallout 4 release. On November 10th around 5:00 AM, traffic to Pornhub’s site started to drop after majority of gamers finished the download and install of Fallout  4. The decrease in visitors continued to drop until 3:00 PM and then again at 6:00 pm.

We can’t say we’re too surprised with what happened to our traffic during peak gaming hours. Based on the data, it looks like a huge surge of people decided to indulge in some wasteland wandering by taking the day off of work and school to play, while the rest of the world had to wade through what we assume were the longest hours of work ever in anticipation of some alone time with their consoles.

So many fans have been waiting for so long for Fallout 4 and it became one of the biggest releases of the year. Publisher Bethesda said that 12 million copies of the game have already been shipped. At its peak, there was over 400,000 people playing Fallout 4 simultaneously and the number rests on an average of 350,000. Price has also said that he is a huge fan of the game and understands people trading “Pornhub time for some Pip-Boy surfing” and that he would have done the same.

On another note, gamers went back to Pornhub and the numbers skyrocketed around 11:00 PM on November 10th. It’s understandable because if you stay too long in the vault… there can be a lot of pent up energy.
