Fallout and ‘The Elder Scrolls’ Savings Galore With Steam Summer Sale

The Steam Summer Sale is in full force from now until July 5th! This gives PC players the perfect opportunity to dive right in wallet first and make that bank account cry! It’s also where titles go to die in an overpacked backlog cemetery of unexplored adventures – or maybe that’s just me. I get a little carried away sometimes with these sales …

With Fallout 76, The Elder Scrolls Blades, and The Elder Scrolls VI officially teased during E3 this year, it’s understandable that the Bethesda powerhouse franchises would be on everyone’s minds. Luckily for those looking to scoop up some sweet loot during the summer sale, both series have some pretty epic deals going on right now. To get you started, let’s highlight a few of our favourites!

Fallout: New Vegas- $3.29

“It’s the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead…and that’s before things really get ugly. It’s a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.

As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare “winner takes all” and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3.
