Fallout 76 famously bypassed Steam when it released in October 2018, instead opting to launch through Bethesda’s own launcher. The publisher has now confirmed a release date for Steam–and it’s (relatively) soon.
Fallout 76 will debut on Steam on April 7 alongside the free Wastelanders update, which adds NPCs to the game. Bethesda is stocking the Steam store with the base game and the Wastelanders Deluxe Edition.
Additionally, Bethesda will sell the game’s microtransaction currency, Atoms, as well as subscriptions to the Fallout 1st program, along with the Tricentennial Pack and the Raider and Settler content bundles (more on that below).

One important thing to know is that Atoms and Fallout 1st memberships for Fallout 76 on Bethesda.net will not transfer to Steam. Atoms do not move between platforms, but Bethesda confirmed that items purchased with Atoms will be shared across Steam and Bethesda.net.
Fallout 76 New Content Bundles:
- Raider Content Bundle
- Mine Car Planter – A small planter for your crops when no dirt is available (buildable in your C.A.M.P.)
