The Fallout series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, kicking off a month-long celebration for the well-loved series. Keep reading to learn more about what's coming during this month-long celebration, including getting Fallout 76 for free!

Fallout 25th Anniversary Celebration

Bethesda kicks off Fallout's 25th Anniversary by giving away the base Fallout 76 game to Amazon Prime members. Players with Amazon Prime can get a code to claim the game from the Windows Store. If you do not have Amazon Prime, you will still be able to play the game, albeit for a limited time. Fallout 76 held a free trial event from October 4 to October 11, 2022. We do not know how much of the game was available during the free trial. However, players who have been interested in the game can take advantage of this game to see if they want to purchase it.

For those who are not sure about which faction to join when they start their Fallout 76 Free Trial, Bethesda will introduce the Post-Apocalypse Loyalty Simulator (P.A.L.S.) “quest-ionnaire.” P.A.L.S is designed to give players an idea of which Faction to join. Other than this, Xbox Gamepass owners will also receive a free month of Fallout 1st membership for Fallout 76. Fallout 1st gives various benefits to Fallout 76 players, such as Custom and Private worlds, a placeable survival tent, as well as a Scrapbox for infinite crafting component storage.

Fallout 76 also held a rerun of its in-game season event Invaders from Beyond. This event has the players fighting against waves of enemies from space and gives various awards to the player. This event ran from October 4 to October 18, 2022.

Of course, this isn't all Bethesda has in store for Fallout's 25th anniversary. Fallout Shelter, one of Fallout's spinoff games, is getting its first major update in over four years. The update promises to introduce an all-new quest line with new enemies, new weapons, new Dwellers, and celebratory decorations for the Vault. More information will come once the update launches, so stay tuned. The Fallout 4 Creation Club will also be holding a series of giveaways and sales, running from October 4 to November 2, 2022. Make sure to keep an eye on the possible deals you can get! Xbox Series X|S players will also be able to get an exclusive Fallout dynamic theme on October 4, 2022.

The Bethesda Community Team also held its Anniversary Kickoff Stream on the Twitch channel last October 7, 2022. Players who tuned in to the stream were able to find out more about what the anniversary month has in store.

For those who are interested in trying out any of the Fallout games, look no further. The Epic Game Store is currently giving away Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for free. This edition of Fallout 3 includes the base game, as well as five DLCs: Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and Mothership Zeta. You can get the game here. Hurry though, as this offer only lasts until October 27, 2022. Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the series.

Players will also be able to create their own Fallout-inspired Xbox controllers, courtesy of the Xbox Design Labs. These controllers incorporate the blue and yellow colors that long-time fans of the series are quite familiar with.

That wraps up the third week of the Fallout 25th Anniversary celebration month. If you wanna read our Fallout articles, head on over here.
