How to play Fallout 76 free with Amazon Prime

The world has been watching the new Fallout TV series that launched on Prime Video, and if it’s got you fiending for a return to the post-apocalyptic game, then you can play Fallout 76 for free if you’re an Amazon Prime subscriber.

Fallout dropped on Amazon Prime Video on April 10, and became an instant success, with some calling it one of the “best game adaptations ever made.” The show is so good that it has convinced a lot of players to return to the series, with Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 all seeing huge jumps in concurrent players.

If you fancy playing the series again and don’t want to spend any of your hard-earned money, here’s how you can play Fallout 76 for free with Amazon Prime.

How long is Fallout 76 free on Amazon Prime?

Fallout 76 is free on Amazon Prime Gaming until May 15, 2024. That means you have a full month to log in and claim it for yourself. If you miss the deadline, the bad news is that you’ll need to pay for it after that date, so I recommend doing it right now, even if you don’t intend on playing it immediately.

Do I get to keep Fallout 76 forever?

Yes, if you download Fallout 76 from Prime Gaming, it is yours to keep. It’s not a free trial or a demo, but a full download of the entire game that you can keep in your library for good.

Has Fallout 76 improved since launch?

If you cast your mind back to November 2018, you may remember that Fallout 76‘s launch was less than ideal. Not only were players wary of the online component, but a bunch of technical issues left fans frustrated, with many dumping it early on and never returning.

It’s been almost six years since then though, and Bethesda has spent time updating the game, ironing out bugs, and even launching new DLC expansions that added a new main quest, all for free.
