The Fallout 4 Deluxe Edition Bundle for Xbox One was free for download on the Xbox One for a brief period due to a system glitch.
Some users were able to test and download the game, confirming that they indeed purchased the expensive game along with its expansions, including Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Far Harbor and a Seasons Pass for Fallout 4's future DLCs without paying a dime.

Xbox Support was able to fix the issue but for a short period of time the Fallout 4 Deluxe Edition, which is normally priced at $109.99, was available for zero dollars in the marketplace, giving gamers the chance to purchase the game for free.
Unfortunately for those who purchased the titile, Xbox Support released a statement saying that all those who bought the video game during the pricing glitch will not be able to play the game and the copies will be deleted right away as per licensing agreements.
"Earlier we had a short maintenance on the server, so it happens that some items on the marketplace have been affected. The issue has been fixed now," said an Xbox Support agent. "Those customers who were able to get the Fallout 4 Deluxe Edition for free will be removed under their licenses automatically," he added.
Xbox gamers have been complaining about Microsoft's server problems, especially in the marketplace, which displays error messages while viewing content on the Xbox Store. The company is working to resolve the issue.
Fallout 4 is one of the biggest games developed and released in November 2015. The game has been flourishing in the market, with the company backing it up with DLCs and updates. It's no surprise that users are getting hyped up upon hearing news about a free Fallout 4 free download.
