Fallout 76 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

We’ve seen plenty of comeback stories in the games industry over the years, where games that launched in terrible states for some reason or other and were widely criticized upon release have gone on to improve significantly and enjoyed quite a bit of success in subsequent years. Fallout 76 is definitely a game that joined that list a couple of years after its disastrous launch in 2018– though things may have turned out differently for it.

How many hours have you put into Starfield ? 50? 100? More than you’re willing to admit? Starfield has been out for less than two weeks, and space captains everywhere are still exploring the galaxy for the best ships, new crew members, secret locales, and credits. Lots and lots of credits. Sooner or later, though, your budding privateer will become bigger than the galaxy around them. And when the boredom finally sets in, you will want something else to play. When that time finally comes — or right now if you are a PS5 owner — we have compiled a list of sci-fi games that can fill the empty void left behind in Starfield’s wake.

Now that Starfield is out in the wild, players are finding all sorts of subtle details Bethesda added into the game but didn't necessarily bake into its pre-release marketing. One such feature is actually a carryover from Fallout 76, and it randomly selects screenshots from your photo mode library to use as loading screens.

Bethesda Softworks publishing head Pete Hines has reassured players that Arkane isn't giving up on Redfall, despite its lukewarm reception on launch earlier this year. In fact, he's confident it will be a good game people want to play on Game Pass ten years from now.

Fallout 76‘s 14th season, Fight for Freedom is here, changing the Appalachian wasteland in some welcome ways. It also serves to mark the online action RPG game‘s fifth anniversary, adding in a range of celebratory events. If you’re still roaming the post-apocalyptic landscape you’ll appreciate the quality of life improvements the new Fallout 76 season brings.

Starfield is going to be filled with easter eggs. Whether they’re callbacks to Fallout, Skyrim, or the rest of The Elder Scrolls series, or nods to the worlds of RPG games or space exploration itself, we can expect to find a lot of smart little references once we get stuck into the world of Starfield proper. Starfield companions are also bound to play a large role in our adventures, but it seems like one, Sarah Morgan from the Constellation faction, is visually inspired by Bethesda’s own Todd Howard; or more specifically, Todd at the 2018 E3 reveal of Fallout 76.
