The value story
The value story
Across all 46 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 67 percent. Among the games that feel like it, HumanitZ ($19.99, scores 38) beats it on value, while it beats Tom Clancy’s The Division™ ($29.99, scores 27).
More about Fallout 76
Players rate it 72 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 64 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 17 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 356 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 27 percent of the 4,889 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
36.5 hours to finish it, 318 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 8.7 times the campaign.
141,482 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say
I'm gonna keep updating this review. I'm 1.4 hours in (literally fresh out of the vault), and my first experience has been so jank it's insane. The character creator crashed my game, and afterwards, a pot plant and a chair violated my human rights. The FPS stutters so much it's ridiculous. NPCs decide that walking is too much effort, so they teleport. Now they've even decided that living is too difficult for them. I...
