A concept doing the rounds this week reimagines Fallout 4 and New Vegas as classic isometric RPGs, and the predictable thing happened: plenty of people went looking for the old game again. None of that has changed what it costs, and for once we can prove a negative. The cheapest offer we track has been stuck on the same amount for twenty-nine days straight.

Twenty-nine days on the same number

Obsidian's wasteland RPG is pushing sixteen years old and has been discounted so often that a percentage tells you nothing about it. The amount does. Our history table keeps one entry per store per day, so the floor can be read off day by day instead of guessed at:

Reference pointAmountWhat it tells you
The cheapest offer, every single day for twenty-nine days€1.70Sticker amount, before any seller coupon
Where the floor sat for most of the two months before that€2.39The level it stepped down from
The single lowest reading in that whole stretch€1.69One seller, one day, and it did not stay
Cheapest right now, seller coupon already deducted2.51 (with coupon SEAL17CDK) at GamesealWhat the checkout will actually show

Read the first two rows together. The drop from €2.39 to €1.70 already happened, a month ago, quietly, with no announcement attached. Anyone still waiting for a sale to be declared has been standing right next to one.

How much room is left below this?

Here the long series earns its keep, because it reaches back much further than the current window. Across more than two and a half thousand days with a recorded amount, only 708 came in at or below what the game costs today. That puts it inside the cheapest third of everything we have ever logged for it, and the median of the whole series sits comfortably above.

The lowest amount on our record is €1.04, and the game last matched its own floor around twenty-three months ago. Typical dips on this title take about a fifth off, not half.

So the honest answer to wait-or-buy: there are roughly sixty cents of theoretical upside, they have not been available in nearly two years, and you would be holding out for them on a game that costs less than a coffee. Waiting is not wrong. It is just not worth much.

The sellers, one by one

Below is what is on sale right now, ordered by what you would actually pay. The seller's coupon is already deducted, so the figure you read is the figure at the till, not a headline that grows on the payment screen:

Fifteen sellers are carrying it as we write this, across thirty-three separate offers, which is why the same game turns up at wildly different amounts on one page. Those offers are not all the same product. Some are the base game, some are the Ultimate edition, and the region tag varies between them. If you would rather settle it in one click, you can buy Fallout: New Vegas key straight from the top of that list.

The region tag moves the price more than any coupon

Here is the detail that quietly costs people money on this title, and it has nothing to do with which shop you pick. Take a single seller, Driffle, and put its two base-game offers side by side. Same shop, same edition, same coupon:

Same seller, same editionWhat it costsWho can redeem it
Europe-tagged code2.51 (with coupon SEAL17CDK)Accounts registered in Europe
Global code3.20 (with coupon GOCDKEYS10)Anywhere

Exactly double, over a difference nobody can see on a product page. If your Steam account country is in Europe, the cheaper one is simply the correct one, and the Global tag is money spent on portability you will never use. If it is not, the Global code is the only one that will redeem at all, and the cheapest Global code anywhere on the list is 2.66 (with coupon GCDKGamivo) at Gamivo.

Ultimate, or just the base game

The other fork is the edition. Ultimate wraps the base game together with the four story add-ons — Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road — plus the two smaller content packs. The cheapest Ultimate on sale is 5.50 (with coupon GCDKGamivo) at Gamivo.

The comparison that normally settles this cannot be made here, and that absence is itself the finding: nobody on our list sells those add-ons separately. There is no cheaper route to them, so the gap between the two editions is the whole price of the extra content, take it or leave it. For a first run the base game is a complete game and the cheaper option is the sane pick. If you already know you are going to finish it, Old World Blues on its own justifies the difference, and buying twice will cost you more than deciding once.

Loose ends: region, contents and how it holds up

Will a Europe-tagged code work on an account registered elsewhere?

No. The region is checked against the account country at the moment of redemption, and a mismatch gets refused rather than warned about. On this game that is the one detail capable of turning the cheap option into a wasted purchase, so it is worth the ten seconds it takes to check your account country first.

What does Ultimate actually add?

Four self-contained story add-ons that each drop you somewhere new, plus weapon and item packs. They install on top of the base game and hook into it from the main map, so there is no separate save and no extra launcher entry to worry about.

Does a game this old still hold up?

The critic score we have on file is 84, and this is one of those rare titles whose reputation has climbed since release rather than faded. It shows its age in the engine, not in the writing, which is the opposite of how most games from its era have aged.

Verdict: what we would do today

Buy it and stop watching the number. It has not moved in a month, it already sits inside the cheapest third of its own history, and the sixty cents you could theoretically still save have not been on the table in nearly two years. Spend the attention on the two decisions that genuinely change the total instead: take the Europe tag if your account allows it, and take the base game unless you already know you want the add-ons.
