Greetings from Fallout 76 – Don't be a Stranger

From Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Fallout 4. Join millions of players as you explore, build, quest, and triumph in a massive open-world multiplayer adventure.

Years of FREE Updates

Fallout 76 is continually growing, with years of free updates and map expansions, plus an extensive calendar of in-game events. There's always something new to discover as Appalachia evolves.

Forge your Survivor

Build the survivor you want using Fallout's iconic S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system. Become a heavily armored Power Armor tank, a stealthy sniper, a gunslinging cowboy, a melee brawler, or create a build that's uniquely your own.

Build a C.A.M.P.

Settle the wastes! Choose a location, then design and expand the C.A.M.P. of your dreams. Build anything from a mountainside fortress to a woodland estate, a raider outpost, or a mad scientist lair. The customization options are vast, it's up to you! 

Discover Stories Across Appalachia

Embark on rich story quests filled with competing factions and meaningful choices that shape your adventure. Journey from dense forests to the scorching Burning Springs and the radioactive Cranberry Bog, where every region is filled with unique stories, hidden rewards, and legendary cryptids. Hunt or be hunted by the mysterious Mothman, towering Sheepsquatch, or the legendary Bigfoot that stalks the wilderness.

The Slasher

Ritual murder sprees grip Appalachia’s denizens in terror! Join the investigation to find who - or what - is responsible as you (grave)dig up clues, stop cultist Infestations across the Wasteland and go on a brand-new Head Hunt event to uncover the truth behind the return of the notorious Slasher!
