Bethesda will offer for free Fallout Classic Collection to Fallout 76 owners

Bethesda has announced that it will be giving away Fallout Classic Collection to all Fallout 76 owners that have logged into the game in 2018. As such, those that buy the game in 2019 will not be able to acquire this collection for free.

Our guess is that this is a free gift that may, perhaps, boost the game’s sales in 2018 (after all, some gamers are interested in the old Fallout games so giving them away for free with Fallout 76 is a clever move).

Bethesda claimed that the free copies of Fallout Classic Collection will be sent in January 2019, so make sure to keep an eye in your inbox for an email from the publisher.

Fallout Classic Collection features Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

  1. The collection it’s regularly on sale for $5-$10. Hell, I was lucky enough to get all 3 games for free on GOG years ago before Interplay’s rights expired.

  2. Reminds me of the time Sega decided to give PC players Sonic 1 for the two week Sonic Mania delay. What a tasteless gift.

    Why not offer up future compensation with money off their new upcoming games, rather than using tired old and truly played IP’s, which cost them next to nothing to give away for free. Truly they lose nothing from giving away a few old games they didn’t even make, yet own.

  3. “ANYONE who logged into the full release of #Fallout76 in 2018 will receive Bethesda’s season’s greetings, free of charge! This applies to Xbox One and PS4 players, too. ”

    Ya, it would be worth about just as much if it said that.

  4. why would i pay $60 or whatever to buy classic collection?everyone who likes fallout already owns classic fallout games, this is just stupid af.

  5. I’ve never seen so many titans of a single industry self-destruct in such a short time. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another gaming crash within the next five years.

  6. That’s not even the value of one skin in Fallout 76. There must be a pool going on inside Bethesda to see who can make the biggest mockery of the launch.

    1. Yeah, but it’s significantly more gameplay / value than 76, and risks exposing more people to writing significantly above the standard that Bethesda can maintain with this series.

    1. It’s a Christmas gift after all. But hey, I think BF V isn’t that bad of a game (not bringing any SJW stuff here though), but Fallout 76 is an absolute abomination. lol.

      1. I liked the BF 5 beta, but haven’t played the full game. Is the full game good for someone who enjoyed the beta ?

      2. “It’s a Christmas gift”

        They didn’t even have the backbone to term it as such. They’ve termed it a “Holidays” gift.

    2. Here’s a tidbit for you:

      Oskar Gabrielson (General Manager at Dice) had this to say in an interview about Battlefield 5:

      “Our commitment as a studio is to do everything we can to create games
      that are inclusive and diverse. We always set out to push boundaries and
      deliver unexpected experiences.”

      EA chief creative officer Patrick Söderlund
      said the developer was uninterested in taking flak for diversifying the
      gaming space. “We stand up for the cause, because I think those people
      who don’t understand it, well, you have two choices: either accept it or
      don’t buy the game,” he said.

      Reeks of arrogance?

    3. I have to agree. I was smart enough to not buy 5 – I’m just subbing to Origin. Sure as hell will not buy FO76.

  7. Bethesda needs to offer a full refund for anyone that bought their sh*t game Failout 76.

    Bethesda go back to the starting square and try again. Do something different. Anything. Try anything else dammit. Maybe even in a fit of desperation make it like a Fallout game you imbeciles.

    1. If they’d released it on Steam then the game may have usurped Batman Arkham Knight as the undisputed king of refunds!

    2. There was no reason for them to NOT make a Fallout RTS. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t buy an RTS based on the war?

  8. Bethesda, Their latest patch totally screwed up water. its so fked up looking now, it looks like they laid a texture mat over top the water. and the tears in the water are horrid. I have no idea wtf they are doing, but they manage to make the game worst with every new patch. They are more concerned with fixing an exploit then fixing the damn game.

  9. This applies to Xbox One and PS4 players” this makes no sense because those are PC games made for mouse and keyboard desperate much ?

  10. Fall of a giant. Funny how when we are unsatisfied with a gaming product we are not considered “consumers” but portrayed and as demonized “gamers.”

    Anyway, just more PR stunts and “see how we are listening” virtue signaling pushing fabricated value to help their image and give company praising gaming “journalists” something to chew on and yell at gamers with since this is still unsatisfactory by BGS. These are extremely old games that most Fallout fans already played to death and owned or could get for a few bucks each – quite literally copy/paste low cost digital products. As much as they would love everyone to think they are being the pro-consumer industry darlings and “nice guys” they once were – BGS isn’t making any kind of sacrifice here.

    Are repugnant shareholders really that keen on hoarding their profits so disgustingly that they cant provide proper compensation?

  11. It’s cringe worthy watching them trying to flog this dead horse of theirs. They will somehow mess up this new years gift just like everything else linked to this disaster.

    1. Maybe Bethesda will offer free Horse Armor next for Oblivion for anyone who bought this garbage turd-pile of a game Failout 76 and played it too long to refund it.

      Bethesda is the originator of microtransactions.

  12. LOL those attracted by 76 will never enjoy classic Fallouts.
    Those enjoy classic Fallouts don’t play 76.
