As excitement builds for the next season of Fallout on Prime Video, Samsung has partnered with Amazon, Bethesda Softworks and Xbox to create a centralized hub for fans ahead of the show’s second season.
The collaboration brings the TV series and the video games together on one platform, letting users watch the first season for free, stream the new season, and play the latest Fallout 76 expansion directly on Samsung devices. For fans of the franchise, this creates a central place to explore all things Fallout and experience it ahead of Season 2’s arrival on Prime Video later this month.
To launch the partnership, Samsung TV Plus will stream the entire first season of Prime Video’s Fallout without a subscription. From Dec. 3 to Dec. 25, owners of supported Samsung TVs, Galaxy devices and smart monitors can watch the Kilter Films production through the ad-supported service. This limited-time offer gives newcomers a chance to catch up on the post-apocalyptic drama before the second season arrives on Prime Video later this month.
The timing aligns with the December 17 premiere of Fallout Season Two. According to the release, this new chapter will pick up after the first season’s finale, moving the story from the California wasteland to the city of New Vegas. To support the launch, Samsung and Prime Video are rolling out a joint marketing campaign that includes digital billboards in Times Square.
“Prime Video is committed to finding creative and groundbreaking approaches to bring our content to audiences worldwide,” said Emily Aldis, Global Head of Distribution and Partnerships for Prime Video. She noted that the partnership helps enhance viewing through “seamless integration of the Prime Video app on Samsung Smart TVs.”
On the gaming side, the collaboration highlights the release of Fallout 76: Burning Springs. This expansion is available to play instantly through the Xbox app on the Samsung Gaming Hub, which does not require console hardware. The update introduces a crossover event featuring the Ghoul, the character made famous in the TV series by actor Walton Goggins. Goggins also provides the voice for the character in the game, bridging the gap between the live-action series and the interactive world.
Todd Howard, game director at Bethesda, emphasized the connection between the two mediums. “When Jonah and I first discussed bringing Fallout to the screen, it was always about portraying the world of the games accurately, while also bringing new stories to life in that world,” Howard said. “Now, with ‘the Ghoul’ coming to Fallout 76, it shows how connected all these stories are.”
There is no question that Season 2 of Fallout is shaping up to be an exciting release for fans, and from the look of things, everyone wants in on the action. If you have a supported Samsung TV, will you be diving in and giving Season 1 a second look? Either way, Fallout Season 2 will begin streaming on Dec. 17, so mark your calendars and get ready to return to the wasteland.
