Xbox's Phil Spencer on why a new Fallout game didn't drop alongside the TV show: "the play is much more long term than trying to drive some gift buying"

Most Fallout fans now have their eyes set on looking forward to the second series of Amazon’s Fallout TV show that’s already in the works.

Though, on the other hand, I’d likely have been pretty unhappy if it seemed like a new Fallout game – whether Fallout 5 or another spin-off – had been rushed out just to try and coincide with the TV series arriving.

However, one of the big talking points surrounding the release of its initial season earlier this year was this – should there have been a new Fallout game ready to drop around the same time?
