Fallout celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, and Bethesda is throwing a month-long birthday bash.
The original Fallout was released in October 1997, making the franchise 25 years old this month.
Bethesda is celebrating the milestone with a series of events across the franchise all month long.
To kick things off, Fallout 76 will be free for everyone from October 4-11.
This is available via the Xbox Game Pass Perks tab until October 24.
Bethesda also announced that a new update is coming to Fallout Shelter as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations.
This will mark the first new content for Fallout Shelter in more than four years.
The update will be released “soon,” and more details are expected in due course.
The original Fallout was developed by Interplay, with Black Isle developing Fallout 2 (1998).
Bethesda acquired the rights to Fallout after that and began developing new entries internally starting with Fallout 3.
