Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition, which bundles the original game together with all of its post-launch downloadable content.

Releasing for PC and consoles in September, Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition includes all six expansion packs for the game. Some of these are relatively small enhancements, such as the Vault-Tec Workshop and the Contraptions Workshop, but it also includes two larger, full-sized expansions. Automatron released last March and centers around rogue robots that are attacking civilians, while Far Harbor is a Shutter Island-like area filled with mutated creatures that are sure to give you the creeps. It originally released in May 2016.

If you didn’t get to purchase the “Pip-Boy Edition” of Fallout 4 when it launched in 2015, you’ll have a chance to do so again. The Game of the Year Edition will release again in a limited quantity at the same time as the standard version of the game. The package includes a poster, “pocket guide” for the game, as well as a wearable plastic Pip-Boy accessory. Your phone can be plugged in and you can utilize a special app to control certain features in Fallout 4, if you don’t mind looking kind of stupid.

Looking for even more? The game is coming to HTC Vive in October as Fallout 4 VR. Bethesda is also working on VR-compatible versions of Doom and, of course, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

But if even that isn’t enough to quench your perpetual Fallout thirst, a board game is also on the way. Created by Fantasy Flight Games, Fallout: Wasteland Warfare uses plastic miniature figures, and its content will span across multiple games in the series. It’s expected to go on sale this summer, and those who pre-order will apparently receive a bonus of some sort.

Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition launches for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on September 26.

The best Fallout 4 mods
Everyone's Best Friend

The Fallout games, at least since Fallout 3, have been absolutely massive games in both scale and popularity. The post-nuclear-war setting is rife with interesting stories to experience and monsters to kill. Fallout 4 was the last single-player entry in the series before Fallout 76 took the game into a persistent multiplayer experience. A large appeal of these games is how you are able to actually role-play and immerse yourself in the game world, which isn't so easy with other players jumping around in their underwear. Thanks to mods, it has never been a better time to revisit the last "pure" Fallout game.

Just like Skyrim, Fallout 4 mods are incredibly popular. Some are inspired to fix the numerous bugs and glitches Bethesda games have become famous for, while others look to add new features. As open and dynamic as the base game is, mods just open the door to an almost endless supply of tools you can use to extend the life of your game. With so many mods available, it can be a little overwhelming to know where to start. We've sorted through all the best Fallout 4 mods out there and came up with the best ones you should install before stepping out of the vault once again.

The best weapons in Fallout 4 and where to find them
People standing outside Nuka World.

Bethesda titles are massive, with tons of loot to acquire. From the fantasy series of Elder Scrolls VI, to the sci-fi world of the future in Starfield, the one thing they share is a wide range of weapons. In the wastelands of Fallout 4, and the new Fallout TV show, the weapons (and their cool names) are a major perk. Some weapons might give you an edge, but others feel as if they’re just for show.

While more common weapons like the submachine gun, hunting rifle, or powerful Gauss rifle will serve you well in the wasteland (especially if you add a weapon mod), there are a few rare weapons in the game that you'll want to get your hands on. We've created a guide that covers some of the best weapons in Fallout 4, from high-powered rifles to ghoul-slamming melee weapons, as well as how their performance might affect your gameplay for the better.

Two characters in power armor in Fallout 4.

The Fallout TV series just released on Amazon Prime, and it's one of the best video game adaptations out there. It perfectly captures the tense, humorous feel of the postapocalyptic video game series while telling a new story with original characters. If you've just watched the show, you're probably itching to play a Fallout title again or check out one of the games the series is based on for the first time. Thankfully, if you're subscribed to one of the major video game subscription services, that's very easy to do.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 are all on at least one gaming subscription service. While PC and Xbox players will be looking to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation owners can get in on the fun with PS Plus Extra's game catalog. We've combed through what's available on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, and PS Plus Extra, and there's no shortage of options. Here are the best starting points on each service.
