Fallout 76 is now free to play, but the deal is only available for a very short amount of time. As a way to celebrate the launch of Amazon Prime's live-action Fallout series, Fallout 76 is now free for those who wish to dive deeper into the franchise's world.

The Fallout franchise has become one of the most beloved post-apocalyptic series in gaming. Through the years, the nuclear-infused world of Fallout has brought some great stories to life, and this popularity eventually inspired a live-action adaptation to be made. This week, the Fallout show premiered early to rave reviews, introducing the franchise to new audiences while also offering a new Fallout story for longtime fans. Although it's been nearly a decade since the last mainline Fallout was released, 2018's Fallout 76 continues to bring some great content by being the franchise's first multiplayer title. Being the most recent Fallout game, a special promotion to celebrate the Fallout TV series presents an opportunity that's hard to turn down.

Starting today, April 11, Fallout 76 will be free to play on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. However, interested gamers will only have a short time to play, as the offer expires on April 18 at 12 PM ET. Fallout 76 lets players live out their post-apocalyptic fantasies, and those who have been curious about the game now have the perfect chance to try it out.

This promotion is specifically in honor of the Fallout TV series, giving gamers a full week to see what Fallout 76 is all about. Fallout 76 is an exciting entry in the series, since it's the first multiplayer title to be released in the long-running franchise.
