Ahead of its release in November, Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic role-playing game Fallout 4 is now available to preorder for Xbox One through the console itself, Microsoft announced today.

For a limited time, everyone who preorders Fallout 4 through their Xbox One will receive a free copy of Fallout 3 for Xbox 360. A code for the acclaimed 2008 RPG will be delivered to you in 7-10 days.

This promotion was announced back at E3 2015 in June.

Fallout 3 will be playable on Xbox One by way of the console’s new backward compatibility functionality when the feature launches this fall. If you’re an Xbox One Preview Program member, however, you can start playing Fallout 3–and other Xbox 360 titles–on your Xbox One right away.

Fallout 4 launches on November 10 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Not so sure you can go ahead and play Fallout 3 right now if you are in the Preview Program.

You are right in a way, you arent able to play it just yet till the backwards compatibility releases in the fall for everybody. but you will be able to play it in 7-10 days when the code arrives in either your email or messages on xbox if you are in the preview program.

So, since I pre-ordered the Pip Boy Edition (From Target) do I get my code emailed? What I probably should be asking is, will those who pre-ordered non-digital copies get their code in an email?

What if I have the Fallout 3 disc?

No. If you pre ordered a the pip boy edition from target, the code will be included in the game. As for right now, Fallout 3 is not on the list of backwards compatible games that you can play. Here is a link for reference: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility But also according to this link: http://majornelson.com/2015/07/01/fallout-4-is-now-available-for-digital-pre-order-on-xbox-one/ it says that it is going to be included in Backwards Compatibility when it is made available. I do not know about the disc though.

Ahh gotcha. We’re on the same page. I was confused to begin with.

7

If you have a game on the list then disks for that game work.

Fallout 3 is not on the list of backwards compatible games right now. I do not know when it will be available. It may be available as soon as tomorrow, it may be available next week. Once it is made available, I will post about it.

Yeah I know I’m in the beta. But you said you didn’t know about the Disk version but if a game is on the list then any disk of it works :smiley:. By the time this preview is out for members we will have about 100 games and more being added as it continues :smiley:
