Where to buy Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas as Amazon series launches
The newest Fallout series has just hit Amazon – and it has received glowing praise from viewers and reviewers alike.
The newest show takes place 200 years after the apocalypse and the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind – and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.
But if you haven’t heard of the Fallout series before, the show is based on a game franchise which dates back to 1997 with multiple games leading up to 2018 so if you wanted to know more about the world and get to know the history of the franchise, you might be considering buying the newest games.
And Bethesda, the game studio behind the Fallout franchise, has even announced that it will be releasing new updates for Fallout 4 thanks to the release of the game. But where can you get the games?
Here’s everything you need to know about getting the game on each platform:
Where to play Fallout on PS5, Xbox and PC
The Fallout TV series is set also 11 years after Fallout 4 and almost 21 years after Fallout 3 with both games being two of the best games from the franchise.
There’s also Fallout: New Vegas – another terrific addition which is set 27 years before the Fallout TV show. The good news is that all these games have released years ago so you can get them for a brilliant price.
You can get Fallout games for as little as £3 from Green Man Gaming for PC or handheld PC players. For PS5 players, you can buy Fallout 4 from the PlayStation Store for just £3.99 which says it is the PS4 version but Bethesda has promised a free upgrade to the game on April 25.
However Fallout 3 and New Vegas aren’t playable (yet) on the most modern consoles so you’ll have to own a PC or a handheld PC like a Steam Deck to play them. If you do own an older console, you can get Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition at £32.05 for Xbox One and 360 and Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox One and 360 for £25.44, while the Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition is now £44.99 for PS4 or £32.10 for Xbox One.
If you have been thinking about getting a Steam Deck, you can buy one from the Game Collection for £389.95 and enjoy PC gaming on the go.
Where to watch the Fallout TV series
But if all you want to do is watch the Fallout TV series, you can do so right now. All eight episodes of Fallout are available to watch now on Prime Video. It is included with an Amazon Prime subscription, which usually costs £8.99 a month or £95 a year, but Fallout fans can watch the entire series absolutely free if they sign up for a 30-day free trial.
