Fallout Series 1 Streams Free for Samsung TV Owners

Anticipation is building for the next instalment of Fallout, and in a rather clever move, Amazon is making the first series available to watch at no charge – but there’s a catch. Only those with a Samsung television will be able to take advantage of this limited-time offer, echoing a similar approach previously seen with Apple TV Plus and its release of Severance’s debut series ahead of the follow-up.

From 3 December, anyone with a Samsung TV manufactured in 2016 or later will be able to access the entire first series of Fallout via Samsung TV Plus. This streaming service, which comes pre-installed on most Samsung sets, is advert-free and will host the show until Christmas Day. The arrangement is the result of a collaboration between Amazon, Samsung, Bethesda, and Xbox, aiming to draw in viewers ahead of the much-anticipated second series.

Exclusive Access for Samsung TV Users

While the offer is certainly appealing, it is only available to those with the right hardware. Samsung TV Plus is not accessible on other brands, so only Samsung owners will be able to stream the series without paying a penny. The service itself is straightforward to use, requiring no additional downloads or subscriptions, making it a rather convenient option for those already in possession of a compatible television.

This move is part of a broader strategy to generate buzz and attract new audiences to the Fallout universe, which has already garnered a loyal following thanks to its roots in the world of video games. By making the first series freely available, Amazon and its partners are hoping to entice viewers who may have missed out the first time around, or those simply curious about the adaptation.

Prime Video’s Approach to Audience Engagement

Emily Aldis, Prime Video’s global head, commented on the partnership, stating,

“Prime Video is committed to finding creative and groundbreaking approaches to bring our content to audiences worldwide. Prime Video’s established partnership with Samsung enables us to enhance the viewing experience for our shared customers through engaging off-screen marketing collaborations and seamless integration of the Prime Video app on Samsung Smart TVs.”

The collaboration is designed to make the viewing experience as smooth as possible, with the Prime Video app already integrated into Samsung’s smart television ecosystem. This seamless approach is intended to encourage more people to explore what the platform has to offer, while also providing a bit of festive entertainment as the year draws to a close.

Limited-Time Opportunity

The window for this offer is relatively short, running from 3 December until 25 December. After that, the first series will no longer be available for free on Samsung TV Plus, so those interested will need to act promptly. For fans of the Fallout franchise, or anyone looking for something new to watch over the holidays, this could be a rather timely opportunity.
