After being in development since 2019, Fallout London is finally available for download via GOG.
In a recent press release, GOG announced that the DLC-sized mod is currently the storefront’s fastest-redeemed game, with more than 500,000 downloads within the first 24 hours after its release.
This shows how popular mods are with Bethesda titles. With Fallout London’s accessibility through the storefront, Team FOLON and GOG may have changed modding forever.
Fallout London had been in development for nearly five years, and before its release, Team FOLON partnered with GOG to ensure that the mod was fully playable through various QA tests.
With more than a million downloads within the first day, Team FOLON and GOG have set records in terms of both numbers and their effects on the modding community.
One of the best ways to release a mod is to create an easily accessible installer offered through a storefront, as shown in Fallout London’s download numbers.

While this practice is similar to how Bethesda’s Creations Club works, GOG can still apply it to its own games, such as The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Being able to quickly download and install related mods on games offered on storefronts increases the visibility of the mods and increases sales of related video games.
GOG congratulates Team FOLON on its success with Fallout London, albeit Bethesda is still radio silent on the mod's success. Half a million in 24 hours for a mod is not an easy feat, and Team FOLON achieved it through the team’s passion and creativity over the years.
While Fallout London is far from perfect, many Fallout fans believe that the mod has captured the essence of Fallout, and Team FOLON has communicated with the community via their Discord server to provide technical support and assistance regarding the mod.
The success of Fallout London is a testament to how storefronts such as GOG and easy installers such as the one they offer for Fallout London will change the modding community. To stay updated with the latest news and stories, follow Starfield Portal.
