Fallout Day Celebrations Have Begun With In-Game And Real-Life Giveaways

Now an editor, their focus has shifted to being the leading affiliate expert at the site, building relationships between TheGamer and global brands including Mattel, Funko, and The Pokemon Company. Fans and creators of the series celebrate Fallout Day on October 23 each year because, in the game's universe, that's when the bombs dropped, which turned its backdrop into a wasteland dotted with the odd vault. Bethesda is kicking things off a little early this year, though, as even though Fallout Day is still a few days away, the celebrations are starting right now. The Fallout Day Celebrations Start Now Bethesda The first thing Bethesda has done to mark the occasion is launch a new social channel for Fallout 76. The new handle, @PlayFallout76, has been created to give players of the ongoing Fallout game a one-stop place to go to find out all the latest news hitting Appalachia. That begins with the new account's first reveal - key art for the upcoming World Pets update, which you can check out above. It's also where Fallout fans will need to go, whether you play Fallout 76 or not, if you want to get some of the prizes that will be up for grabs throughout this week as we hurtle like a nuclear bomb towards Fallout Day this Friday. There will be three giveaways to be on the lookout for, each of them offering different unique Fallout goodies to some lucky fans to celebrate the holiday. We don't have details on when exactly the giveaways will go live, but we do know what will be given away in each of the three. A Marshal Mallow bundle that will presumably include official merch themed after the marshmallow mascot, a Nuka-Cola gaming bundle that will likely be filled with video game accessories that have been given a makeover based on the famous fictional soda's design, and the one giveaway where we know exactly what's up for grabs, some Pip-Boy Xbox Elite 2 Controllers. In-Game Rewards For All Fallout 76 And Fallout Shelter Players Those giveaways will naturally be pretty limited, with only a few lucky Fallout fans getting their hands on the bundles and controllers that will be up for grabs. The in-game rewards being given away on the road to Fallout Day, however, are available to everyone. That includes the Fallout 76 Wasteland Wandered Outfit. Available right now through November 1, 2026, and all you have to do to unlock it is log in. Fallout Shelter players have five times as many login rewards to claim, one for each day of the week starting right now and ending on Fallout Day. You can check out all five below, and again, all you need to do is open the game to unlock each day's reward. October 19: Lunchbox October 20: Pet Carrier October 21: Mr Handy October 22: 10 Nuka-Cola Quantum October 23: 2 Lunchboxes, 1 Pet Carrier, 1 Mr. Handy, 20 Nuka-Cola Quantum Even if you miss a day, you can still collect the other rewards on each other day, and as you can see, you really don't want to miss out on the in-game rewards for Friday. Make sure to claim them all, and to follow PlayFallout76 to not only keep up to date on everything you need to know about the game, but also to be the first to know about the giveaways over the coming days.
