Post-apocalyptic adventure franchiseFallouthas benefited from a renewed interest with audiences that is likely due, at least in part, to the first season of Prime Video’s television adaptation being released earlier this week. (You can read Windows Central’sreview of Fallout Season 1 here.) Fallout titles Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel and Fallout 76 were previously made available for free on Prime Gaming to celebrate the release of the television series.
Today,Amazon announcedFallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition and Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition will join the cloud via the Amazon Luna streaming service. The announcement was in tandem with NVIDIA announcing the addition of Fallout 4 andFallout 76were being added to itsGeForce NOWcloud streaming service.
Fallout on Amazon Luna
Amazon Prime subscriberscan claim Fallout 76 (on Xbox and PC) as free to keep, but Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas can only be played via the cloud. Fallout 3 and New Vegas can be played with a controller or keyboard and mouse as input options, and feature 1080p video. Amazon Luna is not included in Amazon Prime benefits, and those who want unlimited access to the cloud library will need to purchase a Luna+ subscription separately.
