What you need to know
- 1997's Fallout, the 1998 sequel Fallout 2, and the Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel spinoff are the first three games in the legendary RPG series, but many of today's PC gamers haven't played them before.
- There's never been a better time to try them out than right now, however, as they're all currently free on the Epic Games Store.
- Specifically, the Fallout Classic Collection bundle that includes all three is free to download and keep forever on Epic from now until September 5, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET.
- Fallout and Fallout 2 are turn-based isometric top-down RPGs that lay the foundations for locations, factions, and events in future games and Amazon's TV show, while Fallout Tactics is a non-canon spinoff that focuses on squad-based tactical combat.
