Overview

  • Microsoft and Bethesda say the free update arrives in December to align with Fallout Season 2, which premieres Dec. 17 on Prime Video.
  • The Ghoul enters the public test server on Oct. 2 with Goggins’ likeness and new voice lines, serving as the face of a new bounty-hunting system.
  • Bounties include soloable Grunt Hunts and public Head Hunts accessed at the Last Resort in Highway Town, with rotating targets and rewards.
  • Burning Springs adds a New Vegas–inspired slice of Ohio with desert terrain, the Rust gang and Rust King, new public events, gear and a tamable Rad Hog.
  • Bethesda calls this the largest update since 2020, describes the crossover as “organic” planning after Season 1, and promises more details on Oct. 23’s Fallout Day.
