SHENANDOAH RIVERRRR
The Post-Apocalyptic West Virginia Board of Tourism has approved temporary measures in hopes of sending people in droves to the irradiated wasteland of Appalachia. Or maybe it was Bethesda. Yeah, definitely Bethesda.
This weekend,Fallout 76is free to play on all platforms. From May 14 until May 18, anyone can hop intoFallout 76and have full access on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. That includes the recentWastelandersupdate, which adds NPCs, a revamped mainline story, dialogue choices, and a reputation system. It’s too-little-too-late for some (and understandably so given this game’s history), but others creditWastelanderswith turningFallout 76around.
It’s a whole new Appalachia. 🌄Starting Thursday – May 14th through May 18th, come experience all that#Wastelandershas to offer during#Fallout76‘s free to play weekend.pic.twitter.com/O9IGSysB7K

As extra incentive, the free weekend is accompanied by double XP for everyone. Hop in and see what all the fuss is about. It’s seemingly good fuss and not bad fuss for once. That’s a side ofFallout 76we haven’t seen much of in the last two years.
