Fallout 4’s Free Fallout 3 Deal on Xbox 360 Is Time Limited

This was not information known before right about now.

Bethesda and Microsoft really sweetened the deal on buying the Xbox One version of Fallout 4 at E3 earlier this year- not only did they announce that the Xbox One version would be getting mods, they also confirmed that players who bought the Xbox version would get a free copy of Fallout 3 as well, thanks to the Xbox One’s newfound backwards compatibility.

Unfortunately, this won’t go on forever- while you get to keep your copy of Fallout 3 once you get it, you don’t have forever to get it to begin with. Gamespot reports that Fallout 4 on Xbox One must be bought by February 8- copies bought after that will not include Fallout 3.

What’s worse is just how deep this information is hidden- as of right now, the only place you can actually confirm this for yourself is on Fallout 4’s store page on Xbox Live.

At least someone noticed this and decided to spread the word.
