If the ongoing coronavirus pandemic isn’t apocalyptic enough for you, then you may appreciate the dilapidated backdrop of Fallout 76, which is free to play on the PlayStation 4 this weekend. Starting from 12PM EDT today (14th May) through 12PM EDT on 18th May, you’ll be able to test out the base game in its entirety, as well as its new Wastelanders expansion.
Those of you that already own the game should know that Bethesda will be offering double XP during the free weekend period, so there’s plenty of incentive for existing fans to return. What are your thoughts on Fallout 76 now we’re a few years removed from the original release? Look at your PipBoy in the comments section below.

They could make it free for life and I still wouldn't touch this piece of crap with a ten foot pole.
Not even if they paid me.
A step in the right direction but it needs to go beyond being free, with Bethesda paying me to play it. My rate is £50 per hour for a game of this quality.
Haha, tough crowd!
@get2sammyb TELL ME LIES, TELL ME SWEET LITTLE LIES ...
Still not going to try it :3
I'm busy this weekend staring at a wall, which has 16x the detail
Even free isn't worth it, they need to pay us to play it instead
not even if it was the last game on earth
Double XP is always nice!!!
"Look at your PipBoy in the comments section below."
Now, that just sounds naughty, doesn't it?
These comments made me chuckle lol
I got back into it after a pretty long hiatus and I’m enjoying it. Yea it’s still buggy but what Fallout game isn’t? The setting of the series keeps bringing me back, and the additions they’ve made are solid in my opinion. Nothing beats exploring the wasteland
I'll check it out. I'll have to delete FFVIIR to make room, though.
It's nice to see everybody ripping this game. I'm normally really forgiving when it comes to games. I've dealt with the bugs in the Elder Scrolls games, I've dealt with the bugs in the Fallout games, and I'm OK with Fallout 4, but there are limits.
Normally those limits are hit with heartless cash ins, live service, content lite, premium priced F2P, trend chasing, microtransaction riddled, audience misreading, or bait and switch tactics.
Fallout 76 was all of those things.
No thank you...
haha so what? I wouldn't play this even if Jim Ryan came up to me and said that the reward would be a sneak peek at the final form factor of the PS5 (im not joking)
Isn't this game just a turd rolled in glitter now?
Quick poll
Fallout 76 or Anthem, which was the bigger disappointment?
My free time is too expensive to play this.
I downloaded all 80 gigs of this before the free weekend last summer and it was an absolutely miserable experience. Maybe they've tightened it up a lot since then but it'd still have to be permanently free-to-play to get me interested now.
They won't let me play games at work...and I'm always at work.
@Arugula @Futureshark Ever since Destiny 1, I've seen these types of games coming a mile off. Our group bought the legion edition (I think that's the name) of Anthem for like £5-6, it seems like a decent deal, so far.
I don't see why I would bother the download time, storage room and time overal to play this, at all :3
Bring on the PS5. Perhaps then Bethesda can start outputting games with the graphical fidelity of a PS4 title.
Would rather cut my grass thanks which has better detail than 76s
@Ichiban I doubt it with that engine they use that should have been retired before PS4 came out its that old and crap
Anyone know the file size these days? My internet connection is dog awful so wondering if it's even worth attempting to download
Why so much hate for this game?
Bethesda 2020 - Skyrim (eso)
Absolute bosses
@East76landS I dunno im just hating for the sake of it
@East76landS the game that launched 1,000 youtube channels, if you're not making money off this steaming pile of .... then your probably on the wrong end of it
I'll probably give it a go.
@Cowboysfan-22 Buggy is a little bit of a understatement it looks worse then a PS3 when i just released.
@Ichiban Maybe even games that work on release.
Bethesda, pay me...
@Futureshark For what it's worth, I still enjoyed Anthem as a game. The gameplay and combat was fun, and the world looked pretty. The full game wasn't any better than the beta, which was the problem.
Fallout 76, on the other hand, is a waste of space even in a trash heap.
I will give it a miss as I have 'pop up pirate' sitting there and i think it would be more fun!
I wouldn’t touch this peice of crap online only games even if I was paid £40 million quid
No offline single player not proper fallout game like fallout new Vegas or fallout 3 fallout 4 crap
