The often shunned Fallout 76 has benefited from a resurgence in popularity of late, thanks to the huge success of Amazon’s TV adaptation of the post-apocalyptic game series.

It has left players seeking out some of the game’s various offerings, such as the Atlantic City expansion.

Fallout 76 is an online multiplayer game set before the events of other titles such as Fallout 3 and 4. It was released in 2018 to mixed reviews, with many critics and players highlighting its poor technical issues.

But a recent upturn in attention on the game has resulted in more than 43,000 concurrent people playing it, which is the highest it has been in four years, according to SteamDB.

So, with that in mind, let’s take a look at Fallout 76’s most recent expedition, Atlantic City.

What is Fallout 76: Atlantic City?

Fallout 76: Atlantic City is the most recent major update for the game, which initially launched in December 2023.

It was split into two parts, beginning with the Boardwalk Paradise expansion, which feels inspired by HBO’s mob epic Boardwalk Empire.

It boasted two main missions set in the new location of Atlantic City with different factions: one where you must rescue an accountant called Billy Beltbuckles and another where you partake in a killer game show.

The second part came in March this year, titled America’s Playground, which added extra missions and expanded upon the Atlantic City setting.

Is Fallout 76: Atlantic City free?

This will be music to the ears of Fallout fans, as the Atlantic City expansion is free to download if you already own a copy of Fallout 76.
