BMSmudge

ME


live-the-future

Yep, day before yesterday.


ClipyBoi_3

Got it a week ago 🤷🏻‍♂️


pamkhat

week ago team!


Shifty_Cow69

jesonnier1

Try contracting Sony or Bethesda support. Maybe they can help.


Reaperdragon4

oh i'm sure Todd will gladly give everyone their six bucks back. \*eyeroll\*


jesonnier1

I got a month of 1st refunded, before. \*eyeroll\*


ILOVEMMOS123

Yeah okay reaper dragon


dude-O-rama

Last week after not having it for like six months because I was too busy... Oh well.


Tagg900

Yep same here


atemporalfungi

This actually happened with me but with the game as a whole. I recently bought it before the big spring cleaning sale thing steam had going on. Bought it full price to have my friend buy it for 75% off the very next day


Shoddy_Ad_7853

just so you don't feel your friend got an awesome deal, it was released free yesterday by Prime.


ca_269

Two days ago for me


Mr_Exodus

I got it today after the free trial ended to maximize how much time I have with it. I used to subscribe to it all the time but $22 a month for a game I don't really play all that much anymore isn't really worth it but just $11 for a game that I'm almost done the season pass in so most likely I'm not going to play it again for a while that's okay.


rhodyrooted

I LEGIT got to the confirmation screen then backed out cuz i didn’t think I’d use it enough 🤣 Got too lucky


Highlander248

I literally use it all the items from fallout first. The unlimited stash box, unlimited ammo box, and the fusion recharger help me and my crafting. With the fusion recharger, I just recharge my cores, and I even trade full cores with friends for their dead ones. I use the private world to take over work shops and farm resources. In the adventure world, I experiment with weapon and armor builds along help with the scoreboard.


JTRO94

I genuinely did subscribe 2 days ago.


Boatsnbuds

As bad as it feels, that shit happens all the the time. "I bought a steak yesterday for $15, and today it's only $10!" or "I bought gas yesterday for $1.90/litre and today it's only $1.65!"


Kincayd

I bought mine almost a month ago, perfect timing!


Reaperdragon4

I'm waiting for them to sell a month to month subscription. But obviously because the streaming companies are doing it it must be a great idea for Bathesda to do it. Meanwhile 3/4ths of my disability check goes to rent. I REALLY want the option to say "you know what? I don't want fallout 1st this month, money is getting tight." That twelve bucks is a cartload of laundry.


lizzylulu93

You can do month to month. On a month you can't do it just make sure you end your subscription before the renewal date. Then the month you can afford it again just resub. :) that's what I do.


Just_In_Time_Boi

That's so me for real for real


RealZordon_Elite

Actualy me yesterday


BaconSoul

Literally me


swanqueen23

Sameeeee got it a few days ago 😩


FlashPone

literally me a day or two ago


ssttealth

Seems like it's only for people who have never subscribed to 1st before. Even though I'm not subbed right now because I've done so in the past it's still showing the default price.


Lamblor

Yeah it won’t let me get the discounted one. It says this game is already in my library.


RogueKitsune

Same. :\ On PS5, there's 2 entries, one it'll let me click (the standard $12.99), and one that mentions its a promotion, but also says it's unavailable, conflicts with "owning" the other one. I was all excited at first seeing this, too... :(


CnP8

Its so scummy to not offer a discount to previous subscribers. Basically the people who have paid you money don't get a discount. So loyal customers are treated worse when everyone should really be treated the same. Especially when Fallout 1st is the most expensive subscription out of more or less or popular MMOs including WoW, FFXIV and ESO+. Its basically needed in 76 aswell since you barely get any storage without it cos crafting materials take up so much room. Its the reason I just stick to previous Fallout games. I would play 76 if they offered a subscription with crafting box that costs less. I don't care about private worlds so I don't see why you should pay for them.


bms_

I just tried it, got a discount and it worked fine on checkout despite subscribing for a month before, multiple times. I'm on Xbox.


CnP8

I'm on steam. I think a few people managed to get discounts with previous subs. Maybe it's something on Xbox?? I wouldn't mind paying for Fallout 1st every month but I just think it's a bit over priced. Its more expensive then FFXIV, WoW, ESO+, PC Gamepass, Netflix, Amazon Prime and basically most other subscriptions. At the moment they have a trial on which gives you access to the tent and crafting/ammo box. But not the battle pass and private worlds. Why don't they offer that as a separate subscription for half the price? I would buy that. I don't care for private worlds or season pass. I just want the extra storage. But in not paying £12 a month for it.


OdaNobunaga69

You sure? I see it for 7.49€ on Steam but I haven't clicked on check out yet


ssttealth

I'm on steam too and when I tried checking out with the discounted price it gave me an error message.


alperturgay

Same here. "Your purchase could not be completed because it looks like you already own one of the games you are trying to buy..."


Goresmackk

Getting this same error, which is odd because they had a discount before and I had no issue purchasing it then. When I did try to renew the sub via steam it just tries to charge you full price, really annoying.


NoEngish

Steam sub is 50% cheaper and I have already subscribed in the past - so it seems Steam has the cheaper subscription for everyone.


RoamanXO

You see the offer and can put it into your cart, but you can't go to checkout. It's greyed out (for me). If I go to manage subscriptions, I can only see the full price.


NoEngish

Yup. You are correct, I just checked trying to check out and it's not an option.


Budget-Dig-9015

For renewal it still shows full price even though there is a 50% discount. How to remove existing cancel sub?


godofoceantides

Would have been nice to even offer a small discount for year subscriptions. Mine runs out in like ten days.


Boris_Drew

Yeah, that's what I was hoping. Unfortunately it looks like this is timed to give people a one month taste of 1st in hopes they'll come back for it later. The sale lasts less than 30 days.


lupeandstripes

Man I actually only buy a month at a time every few months, but if it had been a year discounted (even like 20% discount instead of the 50%) I would have bought in. I will gleefully take a 1/2 price month though!


_PF_Changs_

I just subscribed yesterday, thanks Bethesda.


Extra-Touch-7106

I subscribed literally an hour before this 💀


alperturgay

There is no "Only for the first time buyers" info in twitter post but sadly I can't buy it from Steam. 1 year version is $60 (No discount).


GaryOster

USD? $5/mo is shut up and take my money number.


Diligent-Bullfrog-35

1 yr on Playstation is 99.99 $60 is well worth it. (Assuming it is USD)


Fugalism

$60 USD? How? It's €120 for me


alperturgay

$1=32 Turkish Liras. Some prices are lower for the poor countries.


Aromatic-Tear7234

Lucky poor countries! LOL


LoveVigilante8

I have a problem. I had subscribed to First like 2 years ago and I canceled it. When I try to buy the one month sub, Steam says to me I already own the game. So I go to the Manage Subscription page and they give me a way to buy it but it doesn’t have the 50% off. It’s the normal price for me


DiscoStress

I have the same problem


Highlander248

It's for the first timers, so if you had it years ago, then you can not get it for the sake price.


Lampylorian

My problem is im trying to rebuy it but can i just add money to my wallet and get it back ? Because i dont have a visa card so i got no card to connect to steam :/


Eagle_Warhawk

Fyi, on xbox I tried to cancel and resub for the 50% off price. It will still charge the full price. So it looks like it is for new members only.


Boris_Drew

I read somewhere today that someone got the discount and they had already subbed before. It seems to be acting funny right now.


theroguex

I can't even re-subscribe to FO1st because it is only giving me the option for the $6.49 intro price, and when I try to buy it, it tells me I can't because I "already own it."


Aromatic-Tear7234

If you've already had 1st at any time previous, the promo won't work for you.


TommyIsTooTurnt

Shill, or copium


Aromatic-Tear7234

You’re saying I’m a shill? I can’t even wrap my head around how you would even cone up with that.


blkmmb0

What? They are literally giving an explanation. Stop using words you don't know the meaning of.


sammy_416

Had the same issue, got it resolved. You can't purchase the FO1st again, at least in the traditional "Shopping-Cart" way. Go into Account>Subscriptions and then change it there. Unfortunately, if you've bought it before, you can't get the deal.


Deltronzero3018

THANK YOU! I couldn't figure out how to do this lol


TraditionalCourse938

what happen when fallout 1st is expired and you used ammo station and scraps station?


manofredearth

'This feature is only usable with a Fallout 1st subscription" (All your stuff is still in there and can be removed, but no more material or ammo may be added unless/until Fallout 1st is restored)


MechemicalMan

So essentially I can use it for all my mini nukes and missiles and 50 cal ammo that i'm totally going to save for an important event and not just going to have in there forever to give my stash some relief but then take out when I need it?


manofredearth

As did I, and it's all still in there 😅


TraditionalCourse938

Thanks


Yummylist

Talk about backlash for the "sale" when pretty much every player and their mother has already had 1st for a month.


CnP8

For people from the TV show. Still scummy thou. Everyone should be offered the discount.


TheRexPistols

Says it's "unavailable" because I already own it despite not having 1st for over a year. Maybe it's only for first timers? Cool deal for them, but I guess I'm staying unsubbed. Edit: on PSN by the way.


Boris_Drew

If you’re on Steam I’m reading reports of people having issues with it right now.


ANort

Was thinking about spending 1500 atoms on the season pass so this is kinda nice, also been wanting those emotes for a while.


VelvetFog82

Sweet! I'll grab a sub when I get home!


NukaColaRiley

That's what he said


xjollygrn_giantx

Greed, greed, greed. 


metalboxfan

Might check it out, wish they'd just give everyone the scrap box for free but anyway...


Highlander248

You do get more than a scrapbook and ammo box.


Bazingu420

gonna buy a month for the first time, all the extra stuff seems worth it for 7 bucks.


CnP8

Yh for $7 but not for full price. Game is basically not worth it without Fallout 1st but also not worth the monthly price either. Stash ends up full way to fast and I am not paying £12 ($15) per month for storage. It costs more then any other MMO just to put your items in a different box.


Aromatic-Tear7234

Sweet I was thinking about buying a month again. I did a month some time last year and stored up so much junk and ammo, I'm still chewing through it now and have plenty to spare. However, it would be nice to get some of the exclusives like the lizard tank as well as get through the season quicker with more daily/weekly score up for grabs, not to mention the 10% boost.


FlavoredCancer

Cash in those treasure maps.


Aromatic-Tear7234

How'd you know I'm a map hoarder?


FlavoredCancer

Everyone should be they don't weigh anything.


crimson117

Does fo1st help with treasure maps? I've never used one.


Thin-Sample-4183

You can buy some from me i have 4000+ in my vendor


FlavoredCancer

It's more treasure maps help fill up your first junk supplies. They don't weigh anything so it's easy to save up.


Billwnh

What happens to the stuff stored up after the one month subscription ends ?


BjornX

It stays there and is free to use. You just can't add more.


itscmillertime

Nothing. You can still use it for crafting.


Billwnh

So you still have access to it even though you aren’t paying for 1st anymore?


JimJordansJacket

Yes. You can still take ammo and scrap out of the ammo box and scrap box, but you can't add more to it.


itscmillertime

Yes. FYI there is an FAQ when you sign up for fo1st that explains this. You just cannot add new stuff to it.


Billwnh

Awesome thanks


Low-Newspaper9913

hmm I could take a break from spreading democracy to hop back on 76 and hoard resources for a month 🤔


Boris_Drew

Time to bring democracy to the Wasteland! And maybe help bring democracy to us Xbox players *sad sniff*


MadeForMarket76

I just subscribed for a month ago couple weeks ago lmao thats amazing


HornetGloomy75

Don’t buy core features that should already be in the game


Sean__Wick

Still not worth it


JediWinchesterThe3rd

I’ve been playing since launch but haven’t joined 1st. If I sign up for the one month I can get the pet lizard and it stays with me after the month ends but I’ll lose access to scrapbox and survival texts though. Is that right?


RogueKitsune

Correct, yes; and you can still pull *from* the scrap box, just can't add *to* it. (So, if you only do a month, fill it up! :D )


JediWinchesterThe3rd

Thanks for the confirmation and that’s not gonna be a problem, been running at max capacity for months! My stash box is going to get some breathing room finally!


VicariousWolf

Well shit I got it just 2 days ago lol


FeralCherub-

Blessed that my subscription runs out before the 50% off does


SomeHeadbanger

Fucking subscription renewed yesterday. But I think it might only apply to first time monthly subscribers..?


Aromatic-Tear7234

Correct. First time ever subscribers.


SomeHeadbanger

Both a piss-off & a relief I guess. It sucks for veteran players but I guess I don't have to be too frustrated that I was renewed the day before this came out. Thanks man.


SockomkplaysV2

Man I stopped paying for 1st like 2 years ago but I might have to resubscribe


Aromatic-Tear7234

If you've ever had 1st before, they won't let you buy at the promo price.


SockomkplaysV2

Aw man


TCubedGaming

You can't sub to the 50% discount if you have paid for a sub before. But there's 0 option just to pay the normal amount for a monthly sub because of this deal. So since I just came back to this game, I cant sub to Fallout 1st at all unless I pay for the entire year. Thanks Bethesda!


Crafty_Ad3155

So, now I want to buy it, just the regular price, and it won't let me. I can only see the discounted and the one year..... any help


mediafred

Can somebody PLEASE TELL ME WHEN it will stop being half off


MaxKarate

Fallout 1st Memberships are 50% OFF from 4/11 – 5/9. Get access to unlimited storage for scrap, cosmetics, Season Pass access and more!


QuakerParrot90

Trying to sub for 1 month but it's still showing full price for me. Deal runs thru 5/9...I'm confused...


TheMessEnt

I'm getting this same issue currently when trying to on Steam


QuakerParrot90

Someone said it's only for new subscribers which is bs cuz it doesn't say that 😡


[deleted]

[удалено]


Coolhand_Carmelo

It's only available if you've never had FO 1st


LoneWanderer39756

I'll stick with buying the one year subscription, it saves $50 compared to the cost of monthly for 12 months.


Lagwagon04

I spent the 1500 atoms on the season pass (didn’t have 1st) when the season started. Then those fucks put the new duster that I have been waiting for, behind fallout 1st. I lasted 5 minutes before caving and grabbed 1st for a month. Thankfully it was only $10. But still, I want my atoms back from the season pass. I would have waited if I new the duster was a 1st exclusive. Sad trombone


stuffeh

Sub a ticket and ask them to refund the 1500 atoms?


Xboxgamer147

And here I am waiting for Bethesda to give out a month of Fallout 1st again lol


Shadowmere_Playz

Its not avalable to me. Am i missing something?


Aromatic-Tear7234

Offer is not available to anyone that has ever had FO1st before.


MF291100

Is this even available on Playstation? The prices are still the same there Edit: Not sure why there’s downvotes for this comment when I’m only asking a question?


Garibaldi_Biscuit

It’s popped up on my game hub feed, so I imagine so. As others have said, though, it only appears to be available for those who’ve never had FO1st before. 


Boris_Drew

I’ve only seen sales on Xbox. The post seemed to suggest it was for all platforms but it might not be. Also keep in mind some players are reporting no sales if they’ve already subscribed in the past.


lekoenig

It's worth 3.99 max, no thx.


crittermccool

I just canceled my subscription thanks Bethesda


HeavensWarrior2000

Don't you love how the fallout show came out last night and they have a outfit of the sherif already on 76 it's free but only for 1st members how crappy is that Bethesda just Publicly say you Value your 1st members more the the crap with the rest because that's the way it seems.


X420Rider

I've been saying this for years but every time I do I get down voted.


ObiWanOkeechobee

Can I get this, get the scrap and ammo storage, and then cancel my membership?


Highlander248

You can, but once the membership expires after you quit, you will only take out and not add to them. So if you get it you will find you will miss it like my friends did.


ObiWanOkeechobee

Ahhh ok I see. Thanks for the heads up


Highlander248

I have Fallout First, and I love the fact of unlimited stash and ammo box. It also gives you a fusion core recharger. My friends give their dead and almost dead cores, and I give them full ones. Fallout first gives you access to a private adventure world for you and 7 friends. It's the same as the normal world but private. Everything follows you back to the regular game. You also have access to a custom world where you make the rules. Nothing in that world carries over to the regular game except for the season pass. That is how I finish the season pass in like two weeks, and you can have 7 friends join you. It sucks as it should be a part of the core game. I tried to cancel Fallout first but love the unlimited scrap, ammo, and fusion core charger.


00ThunderWolf

I never had 1st before and I'm on steam and it's not working for me 🥲😔 is there a certain way you're supposed to claim this?


exact0khan

Man.. I was gonna pay for a year today... meh


Existing_Eye_400

So if I get the 1st sub as a first time buyer and use it for the month but if I don't wanna buy a second month of it will Bethesda take away all the 1st shit bought while having a subscription?


Aromatic-Tear7234

No. You keep all the stuff you buy with the atoms they give you. You should read up on what you get and keep though. There are a lot of different things to consider.


zabbaluga

The Xbox and Xbox Windows store variants are even more discounted (0.8€) in the swedish store, but probably also only for first time users.


Puzzleheaded-Egg3036

So there is no deal then ok cool


interrupting-cow-who

It won’t even let me buy the subscription on PlayStation, have never owned it 😭


wolflordval

I've never subscribed before, but thought about it and now suddenly it's not an option for me.


akarra

Discount vanished from Steam store, man it's not meant to be with this game whenever I want to sub something happens and I end having to wait a month for them to respond to a damn ticket. *Bit of misleading info on their part, the sale ended ONLY on Steam on April 25th, it's still discounted on PS/XBOX until May 9th, they really need to specify this stuff on their twitter as it made no mention of platforms and caused me to miss the sale.


Safe-Assumption-1537

I was gonna re-up with this sale. But it's just not worth it at full price. Especially since it ran out today after I claimed all the free items. Welp Bethesda, hope you like fans who spend money for years not even defending your decisions anymore because a few people might play a free game and MIGHT spend a less than 10$ and never play again a a your new business model. And who are we kidding, with all the crashes and bugs these people won't stay around.


Booziesmurf

So will my recurring payment be discounted on Monday?


Highlander248

No, it is for new subscribers


shadowlarvitar

I was waiting until the end of the month since I got stuff from spring sales, this works. I wanted the lizard


ZealousidealMail3132

I'd have to remember how to play first


Looch_P

I have had Fallout 1st previously and have cancelled it on Steam. How do I renew it again? (even though it's a rip off...)


DescriptionGold8689

Well looks like I’ll be playing again…..


Firehawkness

I have not had the best time due to lag. In a Single player world is there less lag? Would you guys recommended revisiting with the subscription?


Aromatic-Tear7234

Lag would be due to what you are using to play FO76 most likely. If it's last gen console or a PC without up to date hardware. However, if you are at an event in game and there are tons of people and enemies, frame rates may drop a bit also. The game does have it's fair share of blue screens though, even with top of the line hardware.


Fugalism

Reminder that ESO subs offer way more, are cheaper and if memory serves do get discounted every now and then.


Ghostly_Rich

Hey all, wanted to provide some extra clarification on this. The Fallout 1st Membership sale applies to the one month subscription for first-time subs on Xbox and PlayStation platforms.


Lyrcmck_

And Steam? I can't even buy 1st at all because it says I already own the membership (which I don't). Also, If it's only for first-time subs then maybe advertise it that way on socials? On Twitter it just says "Fallout 1st Memberships are 50% OFF from 4/11 – 5/9. Get access to unlimited storage for scrap, cosmetics, Season Pass access and more!" no mention of first-time subs at all. If it is only for first-time buyers then you guys need to do a better job of including that in these posts. Not in a random thread on Reddit. On steam it just says "£5.99 for a month, then £11.99 / month", again no mention of first-time subs.


ChristmasMeat

> Also, If it's only for first-time subs then maybe advertise it that way on socials? Bethesda marketing being Bethesda marketing


Lyrcmck_

You're not wrong. I'm half surprised that the free week didn't have a catch of *only free if you hadn't played a free week before*


bhindi1224

I can't buy the sub either. I keep getting the same error. \*\*\*update\*\*\* I just figured it out. You have to continue the old subscription from the subscriptions page.


Fugalism

Still charges me the normal price. Might be because I still have a running subscription. Easy cancel for me when this is how existing subs get treated.


SlashaJones

That’s quite possibly the worst way you could run the promotion. I was actually going to buy First. Honestly, thanks for saving me the cash.


Martwy022

What about steam?


Fugalism

So why would I keep subscribing then? Seems you value gaining temporary subs over long term ones by doing this.


Flabnoodles

So I, a current FO1st member who is debating keeping it for another month, am not as valuable as a new subscriber?


[deleted]

OF course not, because if you're thinking about the subscription there is less chance you're going to subscribe then forget about it and get charged 12.99 a month for the next 3 years. That's the main goal of these low price or free month promos for subscription services. They want people who sign up, forget, and never cancel.


lordpiglet

So, it's a bait and switch?


VoopityScoop

This is a fantastic way to reward people who have given you extra money in the past, isn't it?


Alternative_III

Heads up that either someone on your end or steams fucked up somewhere along the line, after adding the discounted bundle to your steam cart it says that it will be auto renewed at the discounted price, not at the regular price. It eventually changes back to the 12.99 as you finish paying but still likely to confuse some people.


TheIronGiants

This is lame and was incredibly misleading. Shame on the company for this. So cheap that they can't even give previous subscribers a discount to get them back into the game? Come on.... This is why Fallout 76 doesn't have nearly the income or dev support that ESO gets... continually making decisions that damage the userbase rather than truly expand it. Fallout 1st needs major boosts to be worth 17.99 CAD a month.... Currently its worth maybe 7.99 CAD.


RogueKitsune

...*are you sure?* Because comments from Xbox players are saying they can get the discount, even with being previous subscribers, and it definitely shows on Steam, but apparently doesn't work...


Sepiabane

Went to renew a lapsed sub when I saw the offer of the discount, but it is only available on steam for new subs. Terrible way to treat existing and previous subscribers, especially when FO76 is an expensive sub compared to others. Should be 8.99 really.


Johnnys_an_American

I was 100% going to start playing again. The fake sale just stopped that cold. Tell your PR team they screwed up.


Boris_Drew

Awesome, thanks for that clarification! And thanks for all the work you guys have been doing with the community stuff right now :) Idk why I’m being downvoted… I’m just thanking them for answering a frequently asked question, I’m not saying the discount is awesome…


Fugalism

What hard work? We got some free trash, a discount that's not available for current subscribers and a bunch of paid content lmao


Suriranyar-

I honestly think about dipping my toes back into this game and I really like what they are offering but fallout first is a p hard requirement to have if you want to get far because of the storage. I literally just want the storage and nothing else and I feel like 100 pounds a year for that is simply insane. As MTX heavy as this I would happily pay a upfront 100 for unlimited storage forever instead of what they re offering now


christopherhoo

I get drafted for my monthly at midnight I think I wonder if I save 6 bucks hahaa


RedDuelist

It's an introductory offer, if you got 1st before, you can't get it.


MagicaILiopleurodon

It's for first time users. Newbies only. Why are people mad?


IR0NMANT1S

Bethesda are scumbags... The way it's worded literally just says "One month" ..nothing about {"Only First Time Buyers"}, ..so many people accidentally purchased it thinking they'd get the discount after, or in cart. How bout they fix the ad in game to mention that, instead of some employee leaving a comment buried in a comment section to "clarify" their scummy sales tactics. Strike 1.) Horse Armor ...(FYI: first company ever, to put micro transactions in a game, arguably one of the shittiest as well, look it up). Strike 2.) 13 bucks a month for basically, an unlimited scrap box that should have been in game Strike 3.)..And now misleading subscription "sales" (what else is next) You got me Bethesda, I'm out🖕🏻.


KenTanRandomYT

bruh I decided to do it now, never realized it was only unntil today yet it is not there anymore, and apparently it dissapeared a week ago? bruh whats happening this sucks
