In October of 1997, players first encountered Fallout’s post-nuclear world and its memorable characters, irradiated monstrosities, impactful conversations and stark reminders that war…war never changes.

25 years later, the Fallout series is a best-selling franchise that not only helped define PC role-playing games and spawned entries across multiple console generations, but also has made its way to tabletop games and even an upcoming television series. Join us as we ring in a milestone year for Fallout throughout the entire month of October!

That’s right, we’re not just celebrating Fallout’s birthday, we’re celebrating Fallout’s birth*month*. Each week in October, you can visit https://fallout.bethesda.net/en/fallout25th to learn what we’ve got planned for that week’s festivities. From sales and giveaways to special features and community content, there’ll be lots to check out celebrating Fallout’s 25th anniversary!

Speaking of which, don’t forget to join the party on social media. Use the hashtag **#Fallout25** and be sure to follow our official Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts to see what the Fallout community is cooking up. We’re also excited to announce that a Twitter Community and dedicated chat on the official Fallout Discord channel so you can celebrate right with your fellow fans! Stay tuned to our social media channels for more information.


Haven’t taken a dive into Fallout 76? Explore post-nuclear Appalachia (and, following the game’s recent Expeditions update, The Pitt with your friends at no additional charge during Fallout 76’s Free Play Week, starting October 4 to October 11.


There are numerous groups, organizations, cults and plain ol’ gangs that call their slice of Fallout’s world home. That’s why we developed the Post-Apocalyptic Loyalty Simulator, or P.A.L.S., questionnaire to help you find which post-nuclear faction suits you. Find where you belong in Fallout and share with your friends!

Overseers rejoice: In celebration of Fallout’s 25th anniversary, we’re adding new content to Fallout Shelter for the first time in over four years! Take on an alien threat in an all-new quest line featuring new enemies, take up arms with new weapons, recruit new Dwellers and decorate your Vault with a new celebration room theme. We’ll have more to show off when the updates launches soon, so stay tuned!

This month will be a blast for any Fallout fan – one you won’t need a Vault to hide from – and we look forward to seeing you all emerge during our 25th anniversary celebration!

In Fallout, October 23 marks the day the bombs fell, the event that started it all.

And it wouldn’t be Fallout if we didn’t throw a party to celebrate the day the world ended! So in honor of this momentous occasion, we’ve got a week of excitement for you to take part in, including a Free Play Week, tons of sales, in-game events, and even a limited preview of Fallout 1st! Get all the details below.

If you haven’t had the chance to jump into Fallout 76 yet, now is the best time! From now through October 26, you’ll be able to experience the entire game for free. This includes the base game experience, plus Wastelanders and Nuclear Winter.



As you play through Fallout 76, you’ll also be able to take advantage of all of the new features introduced in our One Wasteland Update, including enemy level rebalancing, which will let you play with anyone, anywhere in the wasteland. There’s also a brand-new Daily Ops system, which rewards you just for playing and completing challenges. Learn more about everything the One Wasteland Update has to offer here.

And, if you decide to get Fallout 76 when the Free Play Week is over, not only will all your progress carry over, but the game and all available content bundles will be on sale!

It wouldn’t be a true celebration without in-game events, and there will be three in-game events running from October 22 - 26. Get Double S.C.O.R.E. and Double XP, and get 25% off Legendary weapons and armor from Purveyor Murmrgh at the Rusty Pick.

Finally, get a sample of a Fallout 1st membership with the free Fallout 1st Preview. In order to claim it, all you have to do is log in between October 20 and October 26, find the free Fallout 1st Limited Preview “item” in the Atomic Shop, and you’ll have access to some of the features offered with the membership.

This trial will allow you to use the Scrapbox (which will need to be claimed separately through the Fallout 1st section of the Atomic Shop in order to build it in your C.A.M.P.) and Survival Tent. Just like for full Fallout 1st members, the Scrapbox will give you unlimited storage for your crafting components, and the Survival Tent operates as a placeable fast travel point with a Stash, Sleeping Bag, Scrapbox, Instrument and Cooking Station. (The Survival Tent will be located in your Favorites wheel after you activate your preview.)



You will have access to both of these features until the preview ends on October 26. Once the preview ends, anything in your Scrapbox will persist (you won’t lose any of those precious crafting materials!), but you won’t be able to add anything new.



If you pick up the Fallout 1st Limited Preview from the Atomic Shop, you’ll also get a couple of other goodies that Fallout 1st members have access to. This month’s free in-game items are the Mechanic’s Wallpaper and Mechanic’s Floor and Foundation. Like any scrap you place in the Scrapbox, these items will remain yours after the preview ends.

Featuring new items, abilities and gameplay created by Bethesda Games Studios and outside development partners – including the best community creators – Creation Club content is fully curated and compatible with the main game, official add-ons, and achievements. Currently available for Fallout 4, Creation Club will be coming to Skyrim Special Edition next month. All Creation Club content works on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. And of course, Mods will remain a free and open system where anyone can create and share what they’d like.

Here’s what’s currently available for Fallout 4, with more content coming soon throughout the upcoming months.
