Amazon Prime members can now enjoy playing “Fallout 3” and “Fallout: New Vegas” for free, but there’s a catch – the games can only be accessed through Amazon’s cloud streaming service, Luna. This news comes in conjunction with the premier of Amazon Prime’s “Fallout” TV show, creating a synergy between the live-action adaptation and the availability of the iconic RPGs. Additionally, Prime members can also download the original PC game, “Fallout Tactics,” for free as part of Prime Gaming’s offerings.
While the prospect of playing these beloved RPGs for free may seem enticing, the experience via Luna leaves much to be desired. Many users have reported issues such as lag, hitching, and subpar image quality when playing through the cloud service. Furthermore, the inability to mod the games on Luna limits the full potential of the experience. Considering that the games are often available at discounted prices or included in subscription services like Game Pass, the appeal of playing them on Luna may not be as enticing for some players. It’s worth noting that both “Fallout 3” and “Fallout: New Vegas” will only be available on Luna and Prime until October 10.
On a positive note, Amazon Prime members can also claim a free copy of “Fallout 76” for Xbox and PC via Prime Gaming, offering an alternative to streaming the game through Luna. Despite the limitations of Luna, Prime members have the opportunity to explore various titles within the Fallout franchise as part of their subscription benefits.
