Initially released in 2015, Fallout Shelter is now coming to Nintendo Switch and PS4. The game is a cross between FarmVille and its post-apocalyptic trappings with no mandatory online requirement or pay-to-win micro-transactions. Already available on Windows PC, iOS, Xbox One, and Android, Fallout Shelter hits the Nintendo Switch and PS4 today and will be free just like it is on other platforms.
At Bethesda’s E3 2018 event, it was revealed that you can play the game using the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con as well as the touchscreen. Previously, the existence of the game for PS4 has leaked thanks to its in-game trophies finding their way to sites like Exophase.
