As such, you’ll get it for free if you are an Amazon Prime member. You can go to Prime Gaming and claim it right now. You have until May 15, 2024, to claim and redeem it. But what is Fallout 76?
Well, in 2018, Bethesda Game Studios had the brilliant idea of launching an online Fallout game. The plan was to make it play like an MMO, where player experiences will populate and make the world lively. Unfortunately, those plans didn’t come to fruition properly. While the game did launch, it launched with half-baked features and numerous bugs.
After five years of fixing, the game is currently in a state where players can somewhat enjoy the experience. After the series’ popularity, players have started returning to Appalachia and repopulating the world.
