What you need to know
If you just can’t get enoughFallout, having binged the new Prime Video series, there’s good news! The newest game in the franchise, the always online Fallout 76 is currently available for free on Xbox and PC thanks toAmazon Prime Gaming.
In not unsurprising news, it’s the Microsoft Store version of Fallout 76, not Steam, but Prime subscribers can claimbothuntil May 15.
Here’s how.
From here, you’re given a Microsoft Store code for either the Xbox or PC version of Fallout 76. You can then copy this code and use either the Microsoft Store app or Xbox app on Windows to redeem. Or you can manually enter it on your Xbox console, but the first method is definitely more convenient!
It’s not the only free stuff relating to Fallout you can get right now from either Microsoft or Amazon. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is also free right now with Prime Gaming.
And once you have your free copy of Fallout 76, if you have Game Pass Ultimate or you subscribe to a Twitch streamer playing the game, you can snag yourself agoodie pack containing Lucy’s backpack from the show.
The launch of the show (and you can read our spoiler-freeFallout season 1 reviewif you haven’t seen it yet) has definitely had a positive impact on the games. Even Fallout 76 is over 5 years old at this point, but player counts for it, and previous Fallout games in the franchisehave exploded since the launch of the Prime Video series. There’s never been a better time to jump in and see what all the fuss is about!
