News: Bethesda has revealed that Fallout Shelter is coming to Microsoft’s platform next week and will be a Play Anywhere Title.

Fallout Shelter is coming to the Xbox One and Windows 10 according to Bethesda. It will be available on February 7 as a Play Anywhere title where you will be able to play it on both platforms whether you are at home on your console or on a business trip with your Windows 10 laptop.

Fallout Shelter puts you in control of a state-of-the-art underground Vault from Vault-Tec. Build the perfect Vault, keep your Dwellers happy, and protect them from the dangers of the Wasteland. Since the game was launched on mobile platforms in 2015 it has expanded with some new features that include crafting, pets, additional rooms, Fallout 4 characters and more. There is also a quest system that continues to grow that will allow you to send people out into the Wasteland to try and find whatever loot may be out there as well as to battle with some enemies. Some of the key features for Fallout Shelter include:

Build the Perfect Vault

Create a brighter future…underground. Select from a variety of modern-day rooms to turn an excavation beneath 2,000 feet of bedrock into the very picture of Vault Life.

Oversee a Thriving Community

Get to know your Dwellers and lead them to happiness. Find their ideal jobs and watch them flourish. Provide them with outfits, weapons, and training to improve their abilities.

Prosper

A well-run Vault requires a variety of Dwellers with a mix of skills. Build a Radio Room to attract new Dwellers. Or, take an active role in their personal lives; play matchmaker and watch the sparks fly.

Explore the Wasteland

Send Dwellers aboveground to explore the blasted surface left behind and seek adventure, handy survival loot, or unspeakable death. Find new armor and weapons, gain experience, and earn Caps. But don’t let them die.

Protect Your Vault

From time to time, idyllic Vault life may be disrupted by the dangers of post-nuclear life. Prepare your Dwellers to protect against threats from the outside…and within.

As I mentioned above it is an Xbox Play Anywhere title which means your game goes where you go. You can start a game at home on your console and finish it on a Windows 10 PC if you so choose. Your save files, progress, Achievements and everything automatically transfer between the two versions thanks to the cloud. Additionally, the game has been fully adapted to work with the Xbox One controller.
