2 Reasons to Buy the Fallout 4 Season Pass & 3 to Wait

Bethesda’s first Fallout 4 DLC announcement included some big changes to the Fallout 4 Season Pass for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

In February, Bethesda confirmed plans to bring DLC (Downloadable Content) to its open-world role-playing game. The company confirmed three pieces of DLC: Automatron, Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor.

The company’s released two of those add-ons but there are still some mysteries that gamers must contend with.

Automatron and Wasteland Workshop are out and Far Harbor will be released sometime next month. A specific release date isn’t known.

The developer also says that it plans to release more Fallout 4 DLC later in the year but those add-ons remains in the shadows. For now.

If you want to buy Fallout 4 DLC add-ons on their own, you can do that. Automatron is $10, Wasteland Workshop is $5 and Far Harbor will be $25. You can also buy them together via the Fallout 4 Season Pass.

The Fallout 4 Season Pass is available for all three systems (Xbox One, PS4 and PC) but its price has changed since it went on sale

Bethesda originally said that its upcoming Fallout 4 DLC would be worth $40 but it’s singing a much different tune now.

@Kisdra it's not a one to one comparison. but you'll certainly be getting as much or more content than you get in $60 games

Bethesda’s Fallout 4 Season Pass is no longer $40. It’s $50. For $50 you get Automatron, you get Wasteland Workshop, you get Far Harbor, and you get the rest of the upcoming Fallout 4 DLC, whenever it arrives. It’s a tempting proposition but it’s not for everyone.

With that in mind, I want to outline a few reasons why you might want to buy the Fallout 4 Season Pass right now. I also want to outline some reasons to wait.

Keep these reasons in mind as we push away from the Wasteland Workshop release date toward the the rest of the Fallout 4 DLC.
