Damn, I’m so happy to stick around through the hard times.

Our latest update for Fallout 76 brings all the fun and excitement of Nuka-World to Appalachia with our Nuka-World on Tour update. It also introduces Season 11, new rewards, gameplay improvements, and more!
NUKA-WORLD ON TOUR
The Nuka-World on Tour traveling road show has finished unpacking their tents, stocked the Nuka-Cade with rewards and is ready for visitors! Venture to the fairgrounds West of Lake Reynolds in the Ash Heap to play three brand-new Public Events, earn rewards in the Nuka-Cade, and unleash the largest Region Boss we’ve implemented into Fallout 76 to date: The Ultracite Titan!
NEW PUBLIC EVENTS
- Spin the Wheel: Join Bottle and Cappy in the Big Top Tent to become a contestant during the “Spin the Wheel” gameshow, where anything is possible! The rules are simple: Press the button to spin the giant wheel inside the Big Top Tent and then take on any challenge it selects. Defend our beloved mascots from unique combinations of enemy creatures, go Brahmin tipping, dodge exploding “Fragstags” and more! Contestants who survive five rounds will walk away with fabulous prizes!
- Most Wanted: Mosey on over to Wild West Town, where Gunther is putting on a rootin’, tootin’ good time during his Wild West Show. All he needs to set the stage is a few hotshot gunslingers like you to perform as Outlaws. Once the event begins, fleece the town and its citizens of their belongings and stash any ill-gotten valuables into your Getaway Wagon. Then, prepare to defend your haul against the long, robotic arm of the Law. Topple the Sherriff during the ensuing shootout and you will be able to ride off into the sunset with some loot.
- Tunnel of Love: This romantic ride is the perfect attraction for lovestruck couples who are looking for a little quality time together amidst the flurry of lights and sounds at the carnival. At least it will be. Once it’s ready. Mr. Lovely just needs a few helping hands to make repairs and to finish decorating the Tunnel of Love before it can whisk swooning sweethearts away to a land of enchantment. Don’t worry, trekking into the depths of a mine shaft to hang some heart-shaped décor should be a safe and speedy venture for a sturdy explorer such as yourself. After all, it has been abandoned for quite some time. . .
Please note: For the first four weeks of this Update, Nuka-World on Tour Public Events will have priority when new Public Events appear and will start at the top of the hour.
WIN PRIZES AT THE NUKA-CADE!
That’s not all that’s arriving with the tour! Grab a fistful of Caps and head to the Nuka-Cade to try your hand at carnival games that are sure to be fun for the whole family! It’s got all your favorites, like “Bandit Roundup,” “Nuka Zapper Race” and “Whack-A-Commie.” We’re also proud to introduce “Bottle Blaster,” which will truly test your might. As you play, you will earn Nuka-Cade points, which you can redeem to get exciting prizes.
NEW REGION BOSS: THE ULTRACITE TITAN
Pete has been hard at work trying to repair the air filters throughout the carnival, but the parts he needs are scattered deep within the earth in an abandoned mineshaft. He’s also convinced that a massive creature has made its home down there. Pete is hoping that some keen Dwellers can investigate, and then launch an attack that’s powerful enough to blast the fiend to smithereens from afar. However, those who undertake this dangerous task should keep in mind that if the monster survives, a direct confrontation with the beast will be unavoidable.
SEASON 11: NUKA-WORLD
Nuka-World isn’t limited to just the travelling roadshow, with today’s update we have a brand-new Nuka-Cola themed season to quench your thirst! Tour around Nuka-World, visiting iconic locations such as Dry Rock Gulch, Safari Adventure, and more. Complete Daily and Weekly Challenges to earn Score, and unlock new items such as Sheepsquatch Power Armor Paints, C.A.M.P. items, consumables, a new Lite Ally and more!
This season, we’re also introducing a brand-new reward to the Scoreboard: the Scout’s Banner ! As an honorary member of the Pioneer Scouts, they’ve entrusted you with a banner you can raise during battle against NPC’s to give you and your team members that extra boost to turn the tides of a tough fight! These banners grant one of 5 bonuses that will last for you and any players in your vicinity when the banner is raised.
Scout’s Banner bonuses are:
- Battle Medic: Heal 20% HP
- Battle Driven: Restore all AP
- Battle Forged: Repair weapon condition by 10%
- Battle Hardened: Repair armor condition by 10%
- Battle Vision: Highlight enemies for 5 seconds
NEW FEATURE: FALLOUT 1ST AMMO STORAGE BOX
Fallout 1st members will receive a new membership feature: the Ammo Storage Box! The Ammo Storage Box works similarly to the Scrap Box already included with your Fallout 1st membership, offering unlimited space to store all your excess munitions, with the exception of Plasma Core and Fusion Cores.
This new feature is a complimentary additional benefit to Fallout 1st memberships. Learn all the benefits of becoming a Fallout 1st member here.
BUILD LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH THE FREE CAM
Free cam is a new quality-of-life feature that we’re introducing to Fallout 76. When inside build mode, select X on keyboard, or Start on controller to enter Free cam mode. In this mode, the camera detaches from your character, allowing you to freely build at new heights, pan through walls, doors, windows, and floors.
ADDITIONAL DESIGN CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS
WEAPON CHANGES
Players who tried out Nuka-World on Tour while it was on the Public Test Server are aware that we originally planned to release a new system that combats illegal attachment combinations to weapons that violate the EULA. We need a bit more time to implement this than originally projected, and as a result we will not be releasing this system with today’s update.
As we continue to work on it, we will keep you up to date on its arrival in a future Inside the Vault.

This first year of Halo Infinite has been one of many tough lessons learned, but we are confident that we are turning that corner in 2023 as we look forward to delivering Season 3 and more—more content, more features and options, more weapons, more cosmetics, more updates—on a regular cadence that keeps the Halo hype rolling all year long.

I think it’s the regular cadence bit that’s going to be most important - after the excellent winter update and todays patch they now have just about everything in place all they need to do is actually properly support the game with 3 month seasons.

Their workflow has probably improved a lot.
I think a big part of the problem has been stretched in so many directions - working to catch up on delayed features, working to fix everything people were unhappy with while supporting a live service game with regular content. With co-op, forge and custom browsers now out, splitscreen scrapped and progress made on fixing the things people didn’t like their content pipeline should be getting a lot better.

It makes me think Season 3 update will have more updates to share since Custom Browser was set for it, but instead, we got it here.

Yeah $70 games don’t matter to me much personally, as my rule is wait for a sale (max $50).
For me $60 and if I really want to own it than I would impulse buy, $70 and it’s going to be $40 or less no matter how much I may want to play game.
Very nice! Got this and the Sonic and Batman dlc.
I thought it was always kind of obvious that MS was just being sensible with staying at $60 because the games were mostly cross-gen and they werent going to charge a premium because that would have defeated the purpose of Smart Delivery.
It was pretty clear that once the cross-gen period ended they price would match the industry.
Replace Starfield with Perfect Dark gameplay teaser trailer and that would be my three game prediction for TGA.

Properly support and find a way to bring people back. Most have long moved on.

showing one of the following: avowed, contraband, project midnight (compulsions’ game), and even fable seem more likely than perfect dark since those projects have been in development longer.
maybe along with a release date for redfall and if ms is feeling frisky a hype trailer for starfield.

Man if we see Contraband I’m going to be stoked!
I say Redfall only in the Game Awards.
Plus Diablo and Wumpa League if you already count them 
Regarding Redfall, we’ve already seen a decent amount of gameplay, so imo the only way the show Redfall is if it’s along with something else that they haven’t shown off in a while or something new.
Yes, I guess they would show new gameplay in a hopefully release date trailer. I am betting on this one cause it is the first Xbox first party game to release in the year.

Based on what happened with Hellblade, we are due for an update on Perfect Dark. Hellblade was announced at TGA 2019 and then showed gameplay at TGA 2021. Perfect Dark was announced at TGA 2020 and I think there’s a decent chance we see gameplay this year, which would be the same two year timeframe, especially with Crystal having been on board for over a year at this point and development seemingly going well. Geoff likes to show games at multiple of his events.
But obviously there are so many options for what we could see that I won’t be surprised if PD isn’t there. I just think it’s more likely than a lot of other projects.
Edit: I think we would have had CG trailers for Midnight and Cobalt by now if Xbox’s strategy hadn’t shifted. We don’t need CG trailers for either, so I hope they wait until we have something in-engine. My dream is Midnight announced at E3 2023 and released in Fall 2023.

Man, last couple years, in this days i remember tweets from some MS staff talking about TGA and how they had a few things, that they were excited to see it or that they were attending, while now i just read tweets about “CoD this, CoD that”
This, together with the leaks from even Sony stuff but not MS and some comments from people like Jez (just his opinion tho) that MS might not bring anything to TGA…
I don’t expect much, my bet is either Redfall or Starfield or simply nothing, definitely not Avowed, Fable, Contraband, Perfect Dark, inXile, Compulsion etc

I kind of feel like if they weren’t going to be at TGA at all, they would have come out and said that ahead of time (like how Ed Boon did the other day). Usually they are pretty good about expectation management.
I’m expecting one, MAYBE two games at best. Redfall is the most likely.
