Get Fallout 1 for Free with Amazon Prime Gaming this Month

Amazon Prime members have an exciting opportunity this month to claim a free copy of the classic 1997 RPG Fallout. 

The post-apocalyptic title is available as part of Prime Gaming’s rotating selection of free games and in-game content.

What Is Prime Gaming?

Prime Gaming is one of the many benefits included with an Amazon Prime membership. 

For $139 per year or $14.99 monthly, Prime members get access to free games, in-game items, a free Twitch channel subscription each month, and plenty of other Amazon services like free shipping and Prime Video.

The free games offered on Prime Gaming change every month, giving members a fresh selection of PC games to claim at no additional cost. 

These freebies can be downloaded through the Prime Gaming hub on Amazon’s website.

Why Is Fallout Free Right Now?

Amazon is offering the original Fallout for free during the month of February as a tie-in with the upcoming Fallout TV series premiering on Prime Video in April 12th. 

This is perfect timing to introduce the game to a new generation of fans.

Fallout is not the only free title available to Prime members this month. 

A selection of indie games like Atari Mania, Breakout: Recharged, and Behind The Frame are also up for grabs. 

But the headliner is definitely the chance to play this classic RPG that sparked a blockbuster franchise.

What Is Fallout About?

Fallout launched in 1997 and was developed by Interplay Productions. 

It utilizes an isometric perspective and turn-based combat, unlike the first/third-person view and real-time battles of newer series entries. 

Some standout elements that make Fallout a classic include:

• Deep character creation and customization – Players are free to craft their character how they see fit, becoming a wasteland hero or villain as they complete quests that can often be handled in multiple ways. 
• Karma system – Lets you play as a wasteland hero or sinister villain with consequences for your moral choices.
• Open-ended quests – Skills like hacking and smooth talking may let you bypass obstacles other characters would handle with force. This freedom is part of what made Fallout so revolutionary.
• Striking art style – While visually dated, the retro graphics have a distinct post-apocalyptic flavor.
• Influential RPG systems – Fallout’s flexibility and morality systems shaped later RPGs like Mass Effect and Fable.

How To Get Fallout For Free

If you’re an Amazon Prime member, simply claim Fallout through the Prime Gaming hub before the month ends. 

Once claimed, the game is yours to keep forever. 

You don’t need a powerful gaming PC to run this classic RPG either.

With the Fallout show arriving soon, now is the perfect time to experience where this acclaimed franchise began. 

Don’t miss the chance to add this iconic PC game to your library for free.
