We're just as surprised as you that 2024 is the year of Fallout. Since the launch of the Amazon Prime TV show, the game series has seen a huge resurgence, and you can get involved by downloading a copy of Fallout 3 (including all expansions) for free.
From now until October 10th, anyone with an Amazon Prime subscription can play the third mainline Fallout game for free in Game of the Year mode, including all expansions, through Amazon Prime.
After requesting a game, players will receive a code to use on GOG.com. That means you can play the games forever, even if you cancel your Amazon Prime subscription later.
Last month, Amazon Prime gave us full access to Fallout 76 and all its additional content.
Fallout 3 lets players take on the role of the Lone Wanderer as he explores the post-apocalyptic world of the Capital Wasteland. The main quest sees you chasing down your father on a water purification mission, but the real fun of Fallout lies in the side quests.
