Fallout Shelter emerges on PC today
Bethesda rolled out patch 1.6 for mobile and PC, too.
Following a surprise rollout of Fallout Shelter for mobile platforms at last year's E3, Bethesda has finally brought the free-to-play survival game to PC as of today—late last night, in fact.
You can only get it through Bethesda's launcher, which you'll find at Bethesda.net.
In addition to letting PC players get in on the fun, Bethesda patched the game to 1.6 across all platforms. According to a press release, "Update 1.6 introduces an exciting new Quest system with a new combat mechanic, as well as two new items for Overseers in a hurry: the Starter Pack allows players to jump-start a new Vault, and Nuka-Cola Quantum speeds up Dwellers returning from the Wasteland and certain Vault tasks."

I came back to it recently and there's enough new stuff to keep me interested for now. Depends on how long ago you quit playing I guess.

at this point that's probably the only company that didn't have a launcher on my system yet. Really, does anyone give a fuck anymore? or are you really only using steam and excluding half of Video Games because of some dumb piece of software

I just wish they'd put their classic titles on Battle.net already.

I love Bethesda but they need to do better to get me to install their launcher.

kinda surprised they bothered. Fits perfectly on mobile and already reached essentially everyone on PC.

The game is a battery killer so I'm interested in a desktop port for that alone.

it was an ok distraction on my phone for about a month.....but eventually there's just nothing to do but send out guys and hope for the RNG to give you a cool item.

this is sorta one of the fundamental problems with porting a good mobile game to PC. It'd be perfectly reasonable to make a mobile game with great, deep gameplay but which doesn't encourage sessions longer than 5 minutes (but still expects you to play 30m+/day). If you put that same experience on PC people are going to be justifiably confused about that sort of interaction model.

Don't really understand why this is a thing....If I wanted to play Fallout on my PC, I'd just play Fallout, not a free to play mobile game port.
-
Not everyone has current smart phones that can run the game? So why not allow people who have tried it have a go at it... And DLC is in the game so if you can hook some sales why not.

This would be cool if it was cross platform and shared the save game with your app.
