Look, those microfusion cells and treats for Dogmeat aren’t going to pay for themselves.

In case you’ve been living under an irradiated rock, there are a lot of Fallouty things happening this month. It’s the kind of geiger counter-triggering atmosphere that can make you want to play - or replay - the latest entry in the series, Fallout 4 . So, here’s a quick roundup of where you can get it on different platforms and how much it’ll set you back.

Howdy there, Vault Tec here, do you want to buy Fallout 4 on PC? No? Well, you’re obligated to talk to me before the game continues, so here we go. If you’re looking to grab Fallout 4’s Game of the Year Edition, which is what we here at Vault Tec recommend if you’re bothered about DLC, it’s currently £34.99/$39.99 on Steam , though you can grab it as part of a bundle with Skyrim Anniversary Edition that might help you save if you already own that game.

That said, if you’re looking to take advantage of deals, Fallout 4 GOTY is just £8.79/$10.82 on GOG.com as of writing due to a deal that’s set to expire very soon, so that could be a good bet if you can snag it before the bomb drops. Or, if you’ve already got a subscription to Xbox’s PC Game Pass, you can either grab the GOTY version via the Microsoft store for the slightly reduced price of £27.99/$31.99 , or play the base game for free as part of that subscription. Obviously, if you’re hoping to play Fallout: London, one of those’ll be best as it’s a PC mod.

Obviously all of these are subject to change as we get further into the month, especially since special deals around the release times of the TV Show, which involves a giant pile of trash , and Fallout: London, which will feature the voice of Baldur’s Gate 3 ’s sassiest vampire, are very possible.

Discount Vault Tec, out.
