With the arrival of Fallout 76: Wastelanders, players embark on a vital journey to reclaim Appalachia as two competing factions rise to control West Virginia. That journey also kicks off another year of exciting content for Fallout 76!

If you’re new to the region, you can play *free* this week see what Appalachia has to offer and for the long-time locals, we come bearing a roadmap of what’s next for the game:

Fallout 76 Free Week

Starting May 14, get a free taste of Appalachia during our Fallout 76 Free Week on PC! Enjoy the full Fallout 76: Wastelanders experience for yourself, free of charge, until May 18.

Should you get accustomed to staking your claim in West Virginia, we’re also discounting the Standard Edition during *and* after Free Week on Steam. And yes – your progress from Free Week carries over to your paid version of the game!

76 Seasons, One Wasteland for All and More!

2020 sees familiar events like Fasnacht and Meat Week making their annual return to Fallout 76, on top of new features like 76 Seasons, which players can progress through special challenges for plentiful rewards, including Atom Bundles, Perk Card packs, one-of-a-kind cosmetics and more!

Then, later this year, prepare for One Wasteland for All! This update makes exploring Appalachia together easier than ever thanks to rebalanced combat and loot that scales to every player – regardless of their level! Things then shake up in West Virginia this winter as The Brotherhood of Steel returns to the scene in **Fractured Steel**, introducing new quests, companions, NPCs and more to Fallout 76!
