Grab your Pip-Boy and open the vault door: Fallout is here. Taking place in the namesake video game franchise’s retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic world, the new Fallout series is set 219 years after the nuclear disaster. The story centers on Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), a Vault Dweller who leaves her underground community and enters the wasteland above. Fans of the video game will see some familiar faces, like The Ghoul / Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins) and Birdie (Cherien Dabis).
If you’re looking to watch the new series, read on. Below is a brief guide on how to stream Fallout, plus key details about the new series and where to buy all the video games online.
How to Watch Fallout TV Show Online
The new Fallout series is a Prime Video exclusive, so you will need a Prime Video subscription to watch the show. Already have a subscription? Head here to watch Fallout.
If you don’t have Prime, there are two ways to sign up. The first is to get Prime Video with Amazon’s all-inclusive Prime subscription. This includes a host of benefits (besides access to Prime Video) like Amazon’s free two-day shipping, an Audible subscription, and access to special deals. Prime subscriptions cost $14.99 a month, or $139 a year if you pay annually. Students can also get a special rate of $69 a year.
If you’d rather pay less and just get access to Prime Video (without the other Prime benefits) you can do so. Amazon offers Prime Video subscriptions, à la carte, for $8.99 a month or $10.99 a month for an ad-free plan. Obviously, this isn’t a huge discount, so we think the full Prime subscription is well worth the extra few dollars a month.
Once you’re signed up for Prime, you’ll be able to stream all available episodes of Fallout here.
Stream Fallout for Free on Amazon
If you’re a new Prime subscriber, you can watch Fallout for free by taking advantage of the service’s 30-day free trial. This will let you watch the series (and everything else on Prime Video) for a month without paying. Just remember to cancel before the trial is over to avoid being charged.
When Does Fallout Come Out? Release Date
The Fallout show premieres on Prime Video on Wednesday, April 10, at 6 p.m. PT. All eight episodes of the first season will be available to watch at once. There will also be a special live premiere of the first episode where fans can choose a faction and interact with each other in a live chat.
Fallout Video Games: Where to Buy Online
If you’re new to the Fallout universe and want to learn more — or you want to revisit some of the franchise’s best games — here’s where to buy some of the biggest modern titles online.
Fallout 3 (Xbox 360/OneS/X, PS3)
Amazon
Released in 2008, Fallout 3 was a massive leap from the 2D gameplay of 1998’s Fallout 2. The first-person RPG is a gem of an open-world game of all time, offering world depth, rich storytelling, and exciting gameplay.
Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox 360/One/S/X, PS3)
Amazon
The follow-up to Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, is widely considered to be the best of the series — as well as one of the very best RPG games ever. You play a Mojave Express courier who is ambushed and finds themselves caught up in a wild, wild, post-apocalyptic version of the Las Vegas desert.
Fallout 4 (One/S/X, PS4)
Amazon
The most recent single-player Fallout game, Fallout 4 built on the fun and lore of 3 and New Vegas with success. You get to build your own settlement, embark on interesting side quests, and follow a very solid main storyline.
