The Fallout series has received widespread critical acclaim, earning praise from all directions. The adaptation of the beloved post-apocalyptic RPG series by Interplay and Bethesda follows the canonical story of three characters as they navigate the wasteland. With such success, it’s time for a celebration as Microsoft and Amazon collaborate to offer one of the recent Fallout games, Fallout 76, for free.
Microsoft’s principal architect Rudy Huyn revealed on X that you can currently acquire a complimentary copy of Fallout 76. These copies are available for Xbox and Microsoft Store versions through Prime Gaming, exclusively for Amazon Prime members. To obtain it for free, simply visit Prime Gaming and claim it immediately. The offer is valid until May 15, 2024, for claiming and redemption. But what exactly is Fallout 76?
In 2018, Bethesda Game Studios embarked on an ambitious venture by introducing an online iteration of the Fallout franchise. The concept aimed to create an MMO-like experience, enriching the world with player interactions to foster a lively environment. However, these plans faced setbacks, leading to a launch that fell short of expectations. Fallout 76 arrived with incomplete features and numerous bugs, hindering its initial reception.
Over the course of five years, extensive efforts were made to rectify these issues, gradually improving the game’s state. As a result, players can now somewhat enjoy the experience, with the Appalachian region seeing a resurgence as players return and revitalize the world.
