Samsung is making a bold play to position its TVs as the ultimate entertainment hub, partnering with Amazon, Bethesda, and Microsoft Xbox to create a unified Fallout experience across streaming, gaming, and content. The collaboration launches just as Prime Video's Fallout Season Two drops December 17, offering free Season One streaming through December 25 while integrating Xbox Game Pass gaming directly into Samsung's smart TV platform.
Samsung just dropped its biggest entertainment partnership yet, and it's all about keeping you glued to one screen. The Korean tech giant is teaming up with Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Xbox, and Bethesda to make Samsung TVs the definitive home for everything Fallout - from binge-watching to wasteland wandering.
The timing isn't coincidental. With Fallout Season Two hitting Prime Video on December 17, Samsung is offering the complete first season free on Samsung TV Plus from December 3 through Christmas Day. That's no small gesture - the critically acclaimed series helped drive Prime Video subscriptions through the roof when it launched earlier this year. Now Samsung's betting that free access will hook viewers into their ecosystem before the new season drops.
"Prime Video is committed to finding creative and groundbreaking approaches to bring our content to audiences worldwide," Emily Aldis, Global Head of Distribution and Partnerships for Prime Video, told Samsung's newsroom. The partnership enables "enhanced viewing experience for our shared customers through engaging off-screen marketing collaborations and seamless integration of the Prime Video app on Samsung Smart TVs."
But Samsung isn't just playing the streaming game. The company's Gaming Hub is getting Fallout 76: Burning Springs, described as the game's largest expansion yet, playable instantly through Xbox Game Pass. Here's where it gets interesting - for the first time, players can interact with The Ghoul, the enigmatic gunslinger from the TV series, voiced by actor Walton Goggins himself.
"When Jonah and I first talked about bringing Fallout to the screen, it was always about doing the world of the games right, but also bringing to life new stories in that world," Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda, explained in the announcement. "Now with 'The Ghoul' coming to Fallout 76, it shows how connected all these stories are. To have Walton bring his unique blend of swagger to the game is awesome."
