Fallout 76 free-to-play rumours denied by Bethesda

Fallout 76 free-to-play rumours have been quashed by Bethesda after making the rounds across social media this week.

Said rumours suggested that Bethesda, desperate to build the game’s player base, would make the game free-to-play to intice users to try it out.

Bethesda took to Twitter to confirm that, “there is no truth to this rumor.”

The confirmation comes as Stevivor’s received several tips that EB Games Australia will stop selling new copies of the game, instead electing to sell pre-owned copies only. Despite several tips suggesting the same situation, we’ve not been able to confirm this is the case — we spotted new copies of Fallout 76 on sale for $39 AUD.

Fallout 76 is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
