The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC

To start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4, you must first own the DLC either by purchasing it individually, as part of the season pass, or getting it as part of the version of the game you purchased. In addition, your character will also need to be level 30 before the quest leading you to Nuka-World will appear on your Pip-Boy.

Step 1: With the DLC installed, start up your game of Fallout 4.

Step 2: So long as you're level 30, open your Pip-Boy's Radio tab and find the "Nuka-Cola Family Radio" option and select it.

Step 3: This will lead you to the Nuka-World Transit Center, which is protected by some raiders and Commander Kaylor.

Step 4: Defeat Commander Kaylor and pick up the "Kaylor's Orders" document from their body.

Step 5: Go inside the building, speak to Harvey, and agree to help him in exchange for getting you to Nuka-World. There are multiple ways to complete this step, but all work.

Step 6: Once done, go to the train and you will be given the option to travel to Nuka-World.

If you're a Ghost Recon fan, you've probably gotten used to one thing over the past few years: waiting for rumors to turn into announcements, waiting for leaks to be acknowledged, waiting for Ubisoft to say... well, anything at all about the future of one of its biggest tactical shooter franchises. Thankfully, that silence finally seems to be ending.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will share Ghost Recon news on August 6, when the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. The announcement arrived shortly after fresh leaks began circulating online, prompting the company to post a brief message telling fans that more information is just around the corner.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
