Bethesda has announced that the free update for Fallout 76, Wastelanders, will release on April 7th. Moreover, the publisher revealed that the game will be also coming out on Steam at the same date. The Steam version will be up to date with the Bethesda Store version.
Wastelanders will be the biggest free update for Fallout 76 since launch. Below you can find its key features, alongside a new trailer for it.
- New Main Quest and Revamped Original Main Quest. Uncover the secrets of West Virginia by playing through an all-new main quest as well as a revamped original main quest line – with friends or solo – starting from the moment you leave Vault 76. New and veteran players alike will take on new missions, explore new locations and fight with (or against) the new faces that have made their long-awaited return to West Virginia.
- Human NPCs. Befriend or betray new neighbours who have come to rebuild, and experience Appalachia through the eyes of its residents.
- New Creatures and Gear. Take down newly mutated creatures finding their way to the region and earn the highest tier of weapons and armor.
- Choices and Reputation. Alter the fates of those you meet with classic dialogue trees. Decisions affect your standing with each faction through an all-new reputation system.
Enjoy!

‘Free Wastelanders Update’
AKA the update they’re going to use to justify charging full price when it hits Steam
“AKA the update they’re going to use to justify charging full price when it hits Steam” – BINGO! Rockstar did this for GTA V and Red DEAD “UNOPTIMIZED” Redemption and NO ONE called it out. No One ever does, finally someone does. Red Dead Redemption Special Edition have you paying 20 dollars more for a 7-12 minute bank heist mission.
RDR2 had a -20% discount on Steam just a week after it launched but ok. It’d be against law to offer it for a lower MSRP on steam btw.
Not intrested in nothing about this game
Not intrested in nothing about this game
make it free and playable offline and then maybe i’ll consider pirating it.
i’d be down to try this game out. but I really don’t want to spend money on the game then pay a monthly subscription on top of that. If you are charging a monthly fee… the game should be free or $20 max.
Kill it with fire, plenty of it.
and gasoline, dont forget gasoline!!
Can’t see this selling well on Steam.
HAHAHAHAHAHA ? HAHAHAHAHAHA ? HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA ? HAHAHAHAHAHA ? HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHA ? HAHAHAHAHAHA ? ! ..! ..!
Bruh
So hyped, daddy Todd will finally be able to do my a*s raw.
Take my money twice Bethesda, you can have my first born, Dragonborn, as well
Wasn’t Valve supposed to take a stance against the tidal wave of shovelware polluting their store? Shovelware just like this?
Now we shall see if pc gamers are idiots or not.
Too late, they already are. They bought it on Bethesda net already and some of them WILL buy it on STEAM again. PC gamers are just COnsole gamers with slightly deeper pockets and a tad bit more stupid. The average PC gamer you see now are Xbox Expats; that came over when microsoft announced the failure which is Xbone.
You need more proof?
HAHA wow i never even knew it wasn’t on steam that’s how much i care and this is from a MAJOR fallout 4 fan(put over 450 hours in it).
Fallout game shouldn’t even come within the same galaxy as a online game. To think i was ALL HYPED when they showed the trailer i remember even where i was(Nice little restaurant with my friends).
Then i saw the truth and was like NOPE not getting on my PC, sad to even see pictures of the game cached to my hardware!
if you are a major f4 fan aka bethesda slave then you should buy this game with full price plus subscribtion in a heartbeat.
Ah i’m actually not a Bethesda fan not a hater either. Not a fan of any game company really.
Noticed this is becoming a thing with Western pubs now, where they just forget to slap in the Steam logo, only to leave it on the video’s description page, which tbh is utter bs. Consoles get their logos put at the end, stop being so damn petty and slap the Steam logo at the end.
Ready the review bombs, rather, review nukes!
Wont work, Steam has put the clamp down on that and will remove reviews that are not relevant. And dont think fro a second they wont be monitoring this one with eager eyes.
why?
Fallout 76? I’d rather have coronavirus!
Then why are you still here, China is waiting for you. Good luck over there!!

Big words man, big words. Talk is cheap though. Time to take action.
i think i speak for everyone here saying this….i cant way to see how this will blow up in their faces. This game never ceases to screw itself up even worse with everything they do, the damn thing is cursed.
Prepare to see the most negatively reviewed game on steam!
Will it be free to play? If not Bethesda can f@ck off. It not even worth $1 to play this crap.
I bet the Lemmings will still buy it in their droves regardless of it’s quality or all their bemoaning.
NPCs as a feature to promote the game, lol..

Keep the trash where it belongs bethesda, steam doesn’t need your backwards outdated technology on its servers
The whales playing it must be extremely fat.
That’s the problem with MTX, it just takes a few idiots with a lot of money to ruin things for everybody.
Who in right mind will buy this? After so much sh*t they pulled off with this game?

I know the flack this game got, but just a for argument’s sake, if this game was FREE, would is even be worth playing through the main quest? Or is it just not that fun?
