The release date for Fallout 4 VR was announced nearly a month ago for the HTC Vive. With that date coming closer HTC has announced that the anticipated post-apocalyptic VR experience will be available as a free download in HTC Vive bundles. While this may be an attempt to further the visibility of the tech, the news is definitely good.

The Fallout 4 VR game is already set at a price of $60 on its release this Winter. For those who purchase a bundled HTC Vive, there will be a redemption code included for the download. While current owners might think to kick themselves for not waiting there is a deal for them too. Those who already own the Vive, and purchase Fallout, a free three-month subscription to Viveport will give them access to extended content that usually comes at a monthly charge.

The award-winning game has maintained its popularity over PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Its debut on VR only makes sense as an open-world action RPG. Fans can expect all of the content available for console and PC to also be available in Fallout 4‘s VR version.

While the HTC Vive comes at a whopping $600, the company offering free games in bundles may make the purchase more attractive. Ultimately, as the technology continues to develop and become more popular, the price will likely come down. With major companies like Bethesda beginning to support VR by making games accessible to the technology, that possibility may come sooner rather than later. Fallout 4 VR will be available December 12th, 2017.

What about Fallout 4’s VR will stand out as an excellent addition to the HTC Vive catalog? Will big name games coming to VR justify the price point? Join in on the conversation in the comment section below! Don’t forget to follow DFTG on Twitter for live gaming and entertainment news 24/7!
