Fallout 76 Private Servers & Subscription Service Are Here - GS News Update

Private servers are finally here, but it'll cost you.

Private servers have been added to Fallout 76 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but they're exclusive to the game's new subscription service, Fallout 1st. For $12.99 / £11.99 a month or $99.99 / £99.99 a year, members will get a monthly allotment of Atoms, discounts in the game's shops, and other bonuses.

$99/year for 8 players, works out to be just over $1/month/account. People whining about this only re-affirm just how bitchy "the gamer community" is. it isn't exactly all that expensive and the price is on par, or less expensive than most "game server" services offered for other games, like ARK, or Conan Unleashed, etc.

To each their own, I guess. FO76 isn't my favorite game, much less favorite FO game, but it's playable, if you like post apocalyptic RPGs. My biggest complaint on this game has been the lack of NPCs, and they look to rectify that, finally. The private servers thing is pretty cool for someone who enjoys the game, and I imagine the folks who aren't playing it - well, it gives them another reason to complain about this.

Could they have launched this game better? yes. Could the atom store be a bit more useful? Yes. Did it seem like a money grab? Somewhat. How many of these same gamers were begging Bethesda for a multiplayer FO game? Now they got one and they're bitching up a storm.

@jakedunnegan: Bah... how many people can:

1. get 7 others to play
2. get everyone to pay up front
3. stay committed to this trash for another year

Break it down however you like... it should've been free.

What a joke. Anyone who signs up for this is an absolute idiot. I won't even buy the original game due to Bethesda's greediness and screw ups, i.e. duffle bag, rum bottle, etc. and putting out a half-baked game that went on sale 2 weeks after it came out!! The game is crap and now they want you to pay $100. for more useless crap!! Un - effing - believable! Bethesda has sunk so low they may never recover.

Bethesda has such a hard-on for wanting to be Rockstar it's disgusting.

Best thing for Bethesda to do is move on to starfield and the elder scrolls fast and don't look back

Bethesda has really sunk low! I guess desperate times calls for desperate measures! One dollar a month or $10 a year subscription could be acceptable and they can lower the atoms alittle. Shame on them!

They need to add single player content and make the game free to play. And even then, they won't fully redeem themselves for this dumpster fire POS game.
