Spooky Scorched, Sales and Free Play Week are live in Fallout 76’s Bombs Drop event.

Veteran Fallout fans are familiar with October 23, aka Bombs Drop Day – the moment in the series’ universe when the old world ended in atomic flame and gave birth to the post-nuclear wasteland they know today.

While a grim anniversary in Fallout, there wouldn’t be an irradiated Appalachia to explore without it, so we’re ringing in Bombs Drop Day with the Spooky Scorched in-game event, a sale and more for Fallout 76 players to enjoy!

FREE PLAY WEEK

New to Fallout 76? Make your debut in Appalachia during our Free Play Week starting October 19, allowing players to dive into the full base game for free until October 25. Should you purchase Fallout 76 after the Free Play Week, all your progress carries over so you can keep on exploring post-nuclear West Virginia without missing a beat. Better yet, we’ll be having sales on Fallout 76 over the course of the Bombs Drop event so you can snag the game at a savings, (more on that in a second).

Note that players on Xbox and PlayStation systems will need an active Xbox Gold or PlayStation Plus membership respectively to partake in the Free Play Week. Additionally, the Windows 10 PC edition of the game will not support the Free Play Week promotion – PC players looking to access the Free Play Week can do so via the Bethesda.net, Steam or Xbox Play Anywhere versions of the game.

SAVE BIG DURING THE BOMBS DROP SALE

It wouldn’t be Bombs Drop without sales, and this year is no exception. Players can pick up Fallout 76 at for up to 75% off at select digital stores up to October 26, including the Microsoft Store, PlayStation Store, Steam and Bethesda.net. Note that exact timings and discounts vary by region, platform and availability – check your platform of choice for more information.

Savings will also make their way in-game from October 21 through October 25 with a Scrip Surplus and up to 50% off of Purveyor items. We’ll also offer a discount on Atoms from October 19 through October 25, giving players the chance to snag their favorite new apparel, C.A.M.P. fixtures and items for less*.
