Sixteen months after first being revealed to the world, the new Fallout 4 next-gen update has arrived on console.
The Fallout TV show will start streaming a day early – all eight episodes of it

The Fallout TV show will start streaming even earlier that previously announced. The new stream date and time for the eight episode first season of Fallout is April 10th at 6PM PDT – that’s 11th April at 2AM BST in the UK.
Set 200 years after the apocalypse, we get to see the denizens of a luxurious fallout shelter heading out into the wasteland for the first time, encountering the Brotherhood of Steel, towns of scrappy wastelanders, and all the crazy mutated monstrosities that will be familiar from the game. Coming from the Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, it stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more.
The announced change was made by Walton Goggins (sans ghoul make up), who said it is being done as “a thank you to all the fans out there”, though it obviously completely changes any plans that people had to watch it – plans that had already changed since the original air date of 12th April. Any diehard fans that booked Friday off work in order to be able to gorge themselves on the series before spoilers could catch up to them on the internet will now have to change days off.
It’s also a complete mess for the marketing. Sure, it’s only one day, but every single video and trailer released thus far – even as recently as the featurette above from 3 days ago – now has the wrong date on it. It’s better than delaying the show’s air date, but it feels like a forced attempt to make the show go viral online and rush people into watching it somehow. I’m sure Amazon knows what they’re doing. Maybe.
And what they are potentially doing is gearing up for a second season, as reported by Variety. The California Film Commission is offering $25 million in tax credits for a second season to be filmed in the state. That’s not a guarantee that a second season is coming, but California’s clearly trying to get some more Amazon bucks heading into their coffers.

Vigor from the Makers of Arma and DayZ is Finally Coming to PC After Years on Console
Publisher Bohemia Interactive has had a large impact on PC gaming over the past decade or so, with major genre-defining titles like Arma and DayZ to their name. But did you know Bohemia also has another major game it’s currently supporting that’s never been on PC? Initially released back in 2019, the free-to-play Vigor has attracted over 20 million players on Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch, but it's never been released on PC. Why? Honestly, I don’t know! Obviously, not every game has to come to PC, but Vigor is the type of experience that specifically does well on the platform, so it doesn’t make much sense.

The Fallout TV show gave the Fallout games a huge player bump, as everyone remembers they like Fallout
Crawl out through the fallout, baby! I've watched two episodes of Amazon's recently released Fallout TV show, a series for and about Walton Goggins' rizz (a thing the kids say). I've been on the Goggins hype train for over a decade at this point, and it's great that - oh sorry, I'm being told that the Fallout TV show is in fact about Bethesda's post-nukepocalypse RPG series of video games, and as such has given a massive player bump to said video games on Steam.
