The Fallout 76 Wastelanders NPCs release date has finally been announced. Headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC this April 7th, along with a surprise launch of the game on Steam.
Whilst many might be interested in making the switch from Bethesda.net to the Steam version you will need to keep a couple of things in mind:
- You can’t transfer your Atoms or Fallout 1st membership balance between Bethesda.net and Steam.
- Atoms are specific to the platform you earned them on.
- Items purchased via the Atomic Shop can be shared between PC platforms.
