Fallout Day was supposed to be a celebration. Instead, it turned into a disappointment. As Fallout: New Vegas hit its 15-year milestone, fans expected a remaster or, at the very least, something playable and new. What they got was a collector’s box full of merch and an eye-watering price tag.
Fallout: New Vegas bundle offers no new content
Bethesda’s big announcement? A 15th Anniversary Bundle for Fallout: New Vegas, featuring the same old Ultimate Edition of the game, which has been around for years. The new box set doesn’t offer a single fresh update, remaster, or performance enhancement. It’s simply the existing PC version of the game bundled with collectibles.
The bundle includes:
- Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (PC only)
- Victor statue
- Vault Boy pin
- Mojave Express and NCR Recon patches
- Collector’s big box
- Evaluation cards
That’s it. No new gameplay, no console release, no visual overhaul.
Halo: Campaign Evolved removes PvP and focuses on four-player co-op, offering a fresh story experience while teasing a future multiplayer project.
Fans aren’t buying it literally or figuratively
Priced at $154.99 (£139.99), the reaction from fans has been scathing. Many pointed out that the full game regularly sells for under $5 during Steam sales, and even at full price, it only costs $15.99.
Meanwhile, Bethesda is asking over $150 for a reboxed product and a few trinkets.
Fallout: New Vegas deserves more than this
Expectations were high for this anniversary, especially with the Fallout TV series’ second season reportedly drawing heavily from New Vegas. Fans hoped the synergy would bring new life to the game, perhaps a remaster or modern console port. Instead, they got a souvenir box.
Worse still, the bundle is PC-only. Console players, who make up a large part of the Fallout community, are left out completely.
Pre-orders are open, but patience will be tested
If you’re somehow still interested, you can pre-order the bundle now. Just don’t expect to receive it anytime soon. Bethesda doesn’t plan to ship the product until June 2026.
Two more years for a toy and a patch? Even hardcore fans might balk at that.
Fallout: New Vegas fans wanted a remaster, not retail bait
This wasn’t about nostalgia. It was about recognition. Fallout: New Vegas is widely seen as the series’ standout entry, and fans were ready to celebrate that legacy. But instead of a tribute, they got a cash grab.
Bethesda may still have something else in the works. But for now? They missed the moment.
