The 3D post-apocalyptic RPG sold more than the studio's previous games, and the many installments in the Fallout series that followed afterward expanded upon its formula. The title followed the same basic formula for open-world sandbox games but focused on its own traditional experience with distinct locations, the vitality of its inhabitants, and an immersive tone that blended well with nonlinear gameplay. This made the GOG version the only way to effortlessly experience the post-apocalyptic RPG on PC.īethesda's Fallout 3 launched in 2008 and introduced the Fallout universe to 3D graphics and real-time gameplay in an open world, breaking previous installments' trend of relying on a 2D isometric gameplay style. However, even with Xbox's subscription service on the PC, it was still deemed broken for several players and laborious due to being forced to download 43 GBs of localized directories for the game. Bethesda added all of its titles to the Xbox Game Pass service with the inclusion of Fallout 3 during the summer. After more than a decade, Bethesda has officially released a patch removing Games For Windows Live from the PC version of Fallout 3 on Steam, making the title once more easily accessible.
