Fallout 76

At long, long last, the release of the Wastelanders content update for Fallout 76 is almost here. This free content drop for Fallout 76 has been pushed back a few times by now. However, on April 14 this update will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. April 14th also marks the release date of Fallout 76 on Steam.

We have pretty much exhausted all talking points about this update by now. Just as a quick recap though, this update includes the addition of human NPCs into the game. There is a new main quest to set out on. There are some new creatures, new gear, and an all-new reputation system. Further details on these changes can be found below.

Purchase options for the Steam release are not yet live yet. However, you can always add the game to your Steam Wishlist to be notified when the game goes live.
