Fallout 76 coming to Steam in April alongside new NPC updateHere come the Wastelanders
Here come the Wastelanders
Update: Hi there, it’s me, the idiot who somehow thought we were in April. This month is, in fact, February. How is it only February. All this will happen on April 7th, not February 7th. Is it really still only February?
After fifteen months exclusive to Bethesda’s own store on PC,Fallout 76has now finalised a Steam launch date of April 7th - also the launch day for Wastelanders, the update adding factions of human NPCs. While I’m perfectly happy buying games away from Steam, I can’t help but note that you often see a game launch in a far better state if you do wait for a Steam release.Fallout 76has come a long way since its early days and, come April, Wastelanders will fill that weird human-shaped hole in the MMO’s post-apocalyptic world.

The Steam launch will be April 7th too. Should you already own it and for some reason buy it on Steam too, itsounds likeyou’ll be able to access the same characters - but not everything will carry over.
“If you already have Fallout 76 on Bethesda.net, you will not be able to transfer your Atoms orFallout1st membership balance between Bethesda.net and Steam,” Bethesda explain. “Additionally, Atoms you earn are specific to one or the other platform. However, items you have purchased through the Atomic Shop will be shared across both platforms – Bethesda.net and Steam.”
