Fallout Turning 20: Get a Free Copy

Fallout has turndes 20 years old, as the post-apocalyptic RPG was first released on September 30, 1997. To celebrate, the game is available for free on Steam for a limited time, an offer that apparently does not extend to other digital storefronts.

No other games in the series have received a discount to honor the game's birthday, and Bethesda has not timed any other new game or content releases to honor the date. December 12 is one: Fallout 4 VR, which will launch exclusively for the HTC Vive headset on that date for $59.99. (That price will likely only include that game's core content, as opposed to Fallout 4's "game of the year" edition that includes its extra DLC for free.)

I imagine the rage quitting with this game will be very high with anybody that has only played from 3 onwards. Lol

Must be a *very* limited time. It shows up at the regular $10 price now.

Would have been nice to see the thumbnail image of the article be from Fallout instead of Fallout 4.

Fallout turned 20, is free on Steam, but Fallout 4 is used in the screenshot. That's just not right :-(
