The value story

The value story

Across all 87 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

Its score puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. Among the games closest to it, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition ($19.99, scores 63) and Fallout 3 ($9.99, scores 63) both come in lower.

More about Fallout: New Vegas

84 from critics against 96 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

10 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,250 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 6,251 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

The main story runs 26.8 hours. Doing everything runs 131, 4.9 times as long.

263,195 people have reviewed it, which is a big enough crowd to settle the number.

What players say

There's probably a way to get this game running on modern hardware for more than an hour without it crashing using mods and unofficial patches. But I've already spent a few hours trying that to no avail. And I think that I would need a healthy dose of Adderall along with an entire day off work just to research, download, install, sort, and tweak everything that I need to get it running smoothly. So instead I've...

This game is the greatest game to ever exist. This is art in its purest form and deserves recognition.
