From the massive expansion of Wastelanders to its arrival on Steam, there have been a lot of big changes in Fallout 76 recently. And Bethesda encourages you to check out all the new features for free this weekend.

You can download and play Fallout 76 without spending a dime from Thursday, May 14 (starting at 12 p.m. ET) through Monday, May 18 (ending at 12 p.m. ET). Introduce a new human NPC faction, build a nice base (or a crappy one), and while you're at it, scarf down a few dozen pepperoni rolls.

There's some good news for those who already own "Fallout 76". The free weekend also doubles your XP. If you're planning a grind session in the near future, this weekend will only take half the time.
