Aside from the purchase of the base game, Steam also took account of the revenue earned from DLC packs. Though some of the elite on the lists are free-to-play, you can easily find some of the best AAA games of recent times within 33-85% discount for sure.

Fallout 76 Was Teased in Fallout 4

Even before the game was even announced, action RPG Fallout 76 was teased by Bethesda way before in Fallout 4.

We know now that upcoming online multiplayer action role-playing game Fallout 76 from Bethesda Softworks, which we know to be a prequel to Fallout series was first revealed back in May 30, 2018 after a day-long waiting on Twitch. However, some keen-eyed players have recently dug down that the game was actually teased back at 2015 in their previous installment Fallout 4, suggesting the developer/publisher has been planning for this game for a very long time, even before E3 2018.

Despite the game being launched as a massively multiplayer online game among the franchise, Fallout 76 will stick to its roots. We have the overall feeling of a hazardous Wasteland of West Virginia setting, the V.A.T.S. system and all those friendly vault tech videos featuring Pip-Boy in retro animation to prove that. Vault 76 was mentioned and hidden in plain sight all along during the opening of Fallout 4 right before the bombs were dropped in 2077.

A recent post on Reddit shows a still from the game from the opening moment inside Sole Survivor's home, where a TV was playing and the tease was right there.

"Since debuting Vault 76 last year, in honor of America's Tercentenary, Vault-Tec continues to expand with plans for well over 100 Vaults around the country."

Also, a computer terminal in Citadel from Fallout 3 has cited from where Fallout 76 is picking up. So, developers of the series have been planning to introduce Vault 76 from long before it was known to all. We just hope that it lives up to players' expectation but couldn't figure out why it opened up so late. We will probably find that out when Xbox beta testing or as Bethesda says, Break-it Early Test Application will open up soon. The game will eventually launch on November 14, 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Fallout 76 will not start as any other games from franchise and many may not are aware of the fact that the game is build up abandoned plans of a multiplayer mode for Fallout 4. That completely makes sense for two of them being so connected. The game offers to explore new areas as it is already four-times bigger than the last title and a full-scale PvP experience focused on teamwork will make it more interesting. Since they are willing to add single player campaign in near future, fan petition seem to have worked well.

The developer studio that brought you games like Dishonored and The Evil Within, has another critically acclaimed game in their fold and yes, we are talking about Fallout 4 from Bethesda Softworks. Not only this one is the best from the Fallout franchise but it also stands out among many great games that the developers have created.

Bethesda also brings in a limited number of Fallout 4 G.O.T.Y. Pip-Boy collector editions in celebration for the Game of the Year Edition. We would like to give you a friendly reminder that these copies will only be available in North America to some selected retailers. This Pip-Boy Edition is out now too, which will cost you $99.99 and it includes Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, Pip-Boy Wrist Mount and all 6 DLC Packs.

A few years ago, we couldn't even have those Pip-Boy Editions for Fallout 4 and now, we are having a Game of the Year Edition and all that. If you are still not content with the Fallout 4 G.O.T.Y. and Pip-Boy collector editions, then you have to hold on a little longer for more as December 12 marks the release date for Fallout 4 VR. So, that means, you haven't seen the end of it, yet.

Doom, Fallout 4 and Skyrim VR Release Date

Virtual reality is becoming a trend these days and it is also impacting the video game industry. Many studios who realize the potential of riding this tide are releasing VR versions of their popular titles now to give their fans an all-new 3D experience and Bethesda Softworks decides to be wise like that. So, what they did is that they have taken projects of pre-existing games like Doom, Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to produce VR versions for them.

Doom, Fallout 4 and Skyrim VR Release Date

Doom
Aside from the superior graphics excellence of modern time, Doom actually hasn't evolved from its core concept of shooting massive hordes of demons from Mars, beside the improved visuals have amplified the intensity of the game even more. We are not saying that's a bad thing but how about getting a bit more up close and personal with the minions of Hell? That wouldn't be so bad and Bethesda already gave us a preview of how it would look like at E3 2017 Showcase. We agree that Doom VFR will blow first person shooter loving gamers mind if not the brains.

Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is perhaps the most successful title of the entire Fallout series and probably that is why Bethesda has chosen the title for a VR treatment. As you struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, the virtual reality makes the aspects of the game pretty real to you. The entire game is re-imagined and you will notice that in combat and crafting. It's not just a tour of the Wasteland but the complete in-game world of the original game and t hat includes hundreds of locations. Even if you have played Fallout 4 before, this is a chance to experience the game once more with a new perspective.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The entire open world of action role-playing game Skyrim along with three of its official DLC; Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire are what you are getting in Skyrim VR. The scale and depth of this epic fantasy is re-imagined as you fight to save the world from the menace of the fabled dragon Alduin the World-Eater. Fighting dragons and exploring mountains will be more lifelike now than it was when you played Skyrim previously. Be sure to choose your own way to roam this open world as you play.

What we learn about the release dates for these VR projects are that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will see release for PlayStation VR on November 17 and then on HTC Vive at some point in 2018. Doom VFR will come out next on December 1 for PlayStation VR and Vive. Fallout 4 VR will be released on PC for the HTC Vive and the release date is December 12. So, we can be pretty thankful to Bethesda Softworks for bringing us all these virtual reality games throughout the year and expect them to create some original VR games as well.

Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition Announced

It may astonish you to understand that Fallout 4 doesn't have some sort of Game of the Year style version accessible yet, as both Fallout 3 and New Vegas does. For a game that got a lot of fan approval and was so uncontrollably prominent after its November 2015 release, it's the kind of thing that appears to be inescapable and undoubtedly, we'll soon at last witness one. Like its Washington and New Vegas set heralds, Fallout 4 is getting a widely inclusive Game of the Year Edition.

Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition

Bethesda Softworks has declared Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, a heap of the game with each of the six of its DLC developments: Nuka-World, Vault-Tec Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, Far Harbor, Wasteland Workshop and Automatron. Purchasers will likewise get the chance to exploit the different updates that have been discharged since Fallout 4's came out, for example; mod help and survival mode.
