I’m not a big fan of the microtransaction system, but if it means these updates stay free, then sure, power to them. Plus, it’s seen numerous updates since release, fixing bugs and adding new content. It has a wonderfully interesting world to explore, a rich mountain of lore and indirect storytelling, and allows for a fun level of customization. But I remain appreciative of Bethesda’s commitment to the game. I know that Fallout 76 gets a lot of hate for its rough launch. If you have any additional questions or concerns, check out the Bethesda post about the update.

So if you intend to make a dedicated jump, best spend those Atoms you’ve been saving. Purchases made with Atoms will still sync. Due to the technical limitations regarding payment systems, they cannot reliably sync these microtransactions between launchers. Progress will transfer and sync, you can cross-play between the two PC launcher versions, and it will have achievements.īut there is one limitation: Atoms and Fallout 1st subscriptions will not transfer. Most of everything will be a seamless transition. Things to Keep in Mind With the Steam Transfer This isn’t a huge window, only 10 days at the time of writing. This also doesn’t apply to anyone with the console versions of the game, digital or physical. If you don’t, you won’t get the game for free. The catch? You won’t be able to do this at any point in the future. When the game releases on Steam, your account should automatically redeem its copy. If you own a digital copy of Fallout 76 on, then all you need to do is link that account to your Steam account.

Fortunately, the process is simpler than you might think. There are a few conditions required to get a free Steam copy of the game, and only for a limited time.
