Bethesda has announced that its Fallout online game, Fallout 76, is free to play until October 26th. From today and until October 26th, PC gamers can download and play the game. Since this is a “free to play” offer, you won’t be able to play Fallout 76 once this free trial period ends.
Naturally, your progress will carry over to the full game if you decide to purchase it when the Free Play Week ends. Additionally, any Atomic Shop purchases made during the week will also carry over to the full game.
Bethesda also announced that there will be three in-game events running from October 22 – 26. These events are Double S.C.O.R.E. and Double XP, as well as 25% off Legendary weapons and armour from the Purveyor at the Rusty Pick in the Ash Heap.
You can download and start playing Fallout 76 from Steam or the Bethesda launcher.

Hah! I’ll play if they pay me.
hey, that’s my line!
Yep, free is obscenely overpriced for this game! Doubly so when remembering it has a subscription ‘service’ priced at $99.99/£99.99 p.a.

LOL, nice try Bugthesda
Shall I spent my bandwidth with this?
no, dont
should be free forever, thats how bad it is
I wouldn’t waste the bandwidth, my time, or my eyesight on this worthless piece of s**t.
This comment section is more toxic than the wasteland itself.
Bought it a few months ago. Without the Vats system… it’s a terribly made run and gun game that lacks good run and gun elements. it feels so ghetto to play. the world seemed decent tho from what i played of it. not worth it tho
Why not free forever? they already have an in-game shop.
Free and I still feel ripped off.
I downloaded 70GB to be greeted by their overpriced garbage subscription model in this already overpriced garbage cash grab with a built in cash shop.
It’s a worse version of Fallout 4 without mods
nice to see newbies popping around.
Bethesda can’t fix Fallout 76. Bethesda has always on the modding to community to fix their messes but from what I hear from the modding community it’s too difficult to fix this online always game and there’s not enough people playing it to warrant the effort.
