The release of Fallout 76 has seen a surge in player counts for the Fallout series, leading to a rise in modding activity. Popular mod site Nexus Mods reported 6,300 TB worth of downloads last weekend. New mods have been created for Fallout 4, 3, and New Vegas, including TV show-themed mods, content expansion mods, and bug fix and visual enhancement mods.
If you’re a fan of the Fallout franchise, you’re in luck. Thanks to a recent surge in popularity, there are now several ways to experience the wasteland for cheap.
One of the best deals available is the Fallout PC game bundle from Fanatical. This collection includes all seven mainline Fallout games, as well as the Fallout Classic Collection and all of the post-launch DLC for Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Fallout 4. The retail value of this bundle is $140, but it has been discounted by a whopping 82% to just $25.
If you’re only interested in playing the most modern mainline entry, Fallout 4 is the one to pick. It has an excellent twist in its story, and this $10 GOTY edition includes all of the expansions.
Fallout 76 had an infamously rough launch, but several years later, the live-service game is in a much better place. Thanks to years of tweaks, substantial patches, and lots of additional content, Bethesda’s little slice of post-apocalyptic fun has grown in leaps and bounds since 2018.
The launch of Amazon’s Fallout TV series has sent players flocking back to the Fallout franchise, propelling Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 into the top 10 of Xbox’s most popular games chart. Fallout 3 and New Vegas have also seen a surge in popularity, breaking into the top 40. The Fallout franchise dominated the shake-up of the top 10, with Fallout 4 rising to fourth and Fallout 76 climbing to sixth. Other notable additions to the top 40 include Fallout: New Vegas, Dead Island 2, and Orcs Must Die! 3. The popularity of Fallout games highlights the enduring popularity of the franchise and the impact that the TV series has had on player interest.
