Manage Fallout 1St

How to cancel fallout 1St in new zealand and protect your account

What is fallout 1St and why players cancel it

Fallout 1St is a monthly or annual membership for Fallout 76 that gives you access to premium features designed to enhance your gameplay experience.

What the membership includes

When you subscribe to Fallout 1St, you unlock a private world where you play solo without other players, a Scrapbox for unlimited junk storage (one of the game's most valued benefits), a survival tent you can place anywhere, and a monthly allowance of Atoms - the premium currency in Fallout 76.

Many players in New Zealand subscribe for one month specifically to shift items into the Scrapbox, then cancel immediately. Others keep the subscription active year-round for the convenience and ongoing Atom rewards.

Why new zealand players typically cancel

You might cancel Fallout 1St for several practical reasons: you've moved your items and no longer need the Scrapbox, the monthly cost no longer fits your budget, you've finished the gameplay goals that required a private world, or you simply want to trial the membership before committing long-term.

Whatever your reason, Stopee understands that cancelling a subscription should be straightforward - and we're here to make sure it is.

Fallout 1St pricing in new zealand

Before you decide whether to cancel, it helps to see what you're currently paying and what your options are going forward.

Current NZ pricing for fallout 1St

Pricing varies slightly by platform, but here are the typical New Zealand prices you'll encounter in 2024-2025:

Always check your specific platform's store before you buy or cancel, as regional pricing can shift. If you're on a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, Fallout 1St access comes automatically - you'll need to cancel Game Pass itself if you want to stop paying entirely.

How to cancel fallout 1St on your platform

Cancellation steps differ depending on whether you're playing on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or Bethesda.net - follow the exact method for your setup.

Cancel on steam (PC players)

If you bought Fallout 1St through Steam, you manage your subscription directly in your Steam account.

1. Open the Steam client on your PC and log in.
   • If you're not signed in, enter your Steam username and password.
2. Click on your account name in the top-right corner and select "Account".
   • This opens your account details page.
3. In the left-hand menu, click "Manage Subscriptions".
   • You'll see a list of any active subscriptions tied to your Steam account.
4. Find Fallout 1St in the list and click "Edit" next to it.
   • A dropdown menu will appear with options.
5. Select "Cancel Subscription" from the menu.
   • Steam will ask you to confirm your cancellation.
6. Click "Apply" to confirm.
   • Your membership will remain active until the end of your current billing period.

Pro tip: Steam often offers you a "discount to keep your subscription" after you click cancel. This is optional - if you genuinely want out, skip this offer and click "Don't Show Again".

Cancel on PlayStation (console or online)

PlayStation Store subscriptions are managed through your PlayStation Network (PSN) account, whether you access it via your console or online.

1. On your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, go to Settings.
   • Alternatively, sign in to your PSN account at account.playstation.com on a web browser.
2. Navigate to "Users and Accounts" (console) or "Account" (web).
   • On console: Settings → Users and Accounts → Other → Subscriptions.
   • On web: Select "Subscriptions" from the menu.
3. Find Fallout 1St in your active subscriptions.
   • You'll see your next billing date and the price.
4. Select Fallout 1St and choose "Cancel Subscription" or "Remove".
   • PlayStation will confirm the cancellation immediately.
5. Your membership remains active until the date shown.
   • After that date, the subscription ends and you won't be charged again.

Warning: PlayStation charges you on the date shown - if you cancel after that date passes but before your next billing date, you'll still be charged once more. Cancel at least 2 days before your renewal date to avoid this.

Cancel on xbox or windows (Microsoft account)

Xbox subscriptions and Windows PC subscriptions through Microsoft are managed in one place: your Microsoft Account settings.

1. Visit account.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft account.
   • Use the same email and password you use on your Xbox console or Windows PC.
2. Click on "Services & subscriptions" in the left-hand menu.
   • You'll see a list of all active subscriptions on your Microsoft account.
3. Find Fallout 1St and click "Manage".
   • This opens the subscription details page.
4. Click "Turn off recurring billing" or "Cancel subscription".
   • Microsoft will prompt you to confirm.
5. Follow the prompts to confirm your cancellation.
   • Your membership remains active until your paid period ends.

If you're on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Fallout 1St comes bundled in. You can't cancel just Fallout 1St - you'd need to cancel or downgrade your Game Pass subscription itself.

Cancel on bethesda.net (PC)

If you purchased Fallout 1St directly through Bethesda.net, manage your membership in your Bethesda account.

1. Go to bethesda.net and log in with your Bethesda account.
   • If you don't have a Bethesda account yet, you'll need to create one.
2. Click on your account name in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings".
   • This opens your account management page.
3. Navigate to "Transaction History" or "Memberships".
   • You'll see all past and current subscriptions.
4. Find Fallout 1St and click "Manage".
   • A menu will appear with subscription options.
5. Select "Cancel Membership" and confirm.
   • Your membership ends at the end of your current billing period.

Note: As of April 2022, Bethesda.net no longer auto-renews Fallout 1St subscriptions. If you purchased through Bethesda.net originally, your membership may have already expired and you won't be charged further - but you can verify this by checking "Transaction History" to see your most recent charge date.

What happens after you cancel fallout 1St

Understanding what you keep and what you lose helps you make the decision with confidence.

Your membership access and timeline

When you cancel, you don't lose access immediately. Your Fallout 1St membership remains fully active and functional until the end of your current billing period - whether that's 30 days away or several months away.

During that remaining time, you keep all benefits: your private world, unlimited Scrapbox storage, survival tent, and monthly Atoms. Use this time wisely if you need to move items out of the Scrapbox or complete gameplay goals that require private worlds.

What happens to your items and data

Items stored in your Scrapbox while subscribed remain in your account after cancellation - but you lose access to the Scrapbox itself once your membership expires. Junk you stored there becomes inaccessible until you resubscribe.

Pro tip: Before your cancellation takes effect, move important junk items from your Scrapbox into your regular inventory or stash. You have from the cancellation date until the end of your billing period to do this.

Your private world also locks after expiry. Any camp structures, items, or progress you made in the private world remain tied to that world - if you resubscribe later, you can access them again.

Refunds and your consumer rights in new zealand

Stopee believes you deserve clarity on refund eligibility - here's what Bethesda's policy says, and what consumer law protects you.

Bethesda's standard refund policy

Bethesda permits refund requests only within 48 hours of the initial purchase or within 48 hours of an automatic renewal charge. After that window, refunds are generally not available under Bethesda's published subscription terms.

If you're outside that 48-hour window, you have limited recourse under Bethesda's own policy - but consumer law may offer more protection.

PlayStation store refund rights (New zealand)

PlayStation Store in New Zealand operates under stronger consumer protections than Bethesda's general policy. You can request a refund for subscription services within 14 days of purchase, even if you've already used the service.

PlayStation Support reviews each refund request individually. They may approve refunds for:

• Accidental purchases or auto-renewals you didn't intend.
• Subscriptions that don't match the description provided at purchase.
• Technical issues preventing you from using the subscription.

Contact PlayStation Support through your account dashboard or call the New Zealand PlayStation Support line. Have your transaction receipt and account details ready.

Consumer guarantees act (New zealand)

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have the right to expect any service you purchase - including Fallout 1St - to be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe.

If Fallout 1St doesn't work as advertised (for example, the private world feature crashes repeatedly, or your Scrapbox doesn't function), you may have grounds to request a refund or credit under this Act. The Consumer Protection Commission (now part of the Commerce Commission) can help if Bethesda refuses.

Pro tip: If you believe Bethesda has breached the Consumer Guarantees Act, document the issue (screenshots, error messages, dates) and first contact Bethesda Support in writing, explaining the fault and requesting a refund. If they refuse, escalate to the Commerce Commission at comcom.govt.nz.

Common cancellation mistakes to avoid

We know how frustrating it is when cancellation doesn't go as planned - these are the missteps we see most often.

Mistake 1: assuming cancellation is instant

Many players cancel their subscription but expect to lose access immediately. Instead, you keep the full membership until your billing date. If you need to stop using the service right now, you'll need to ask support for a mid-cycle refund (which they may decline) or simply avoid logging in.

Mistake 2: not checking which platform you subscribed on

If you purchased Fallout 1St on PlayStation but try to cancel on Steam, nothing happens - the subscription keeps running on PlayStation and you're charged again. Double-check your subscription platform before cancelling. Stopee recommends checking your bank or payment method records if you're unsure.

Mistake 3: forgetting auto-renewal and rebilling dates

Cancellation doesn't stop the charge on your next billing date if you submit the cancellation after the company has already processed the renewal. Cancel at least 3-5 days before your renewal date to give the system time to process your request.

Mistake 4: not moving scrapbox items before expiry

When your membership ends, your Scrapbox locks and you can't access the junk inside until you resubscribe. If you cancel without moving valuable items out, you lose access to them. Your billing date is your final warning - move everything before then.

Mistake 5: ignoring the 14-day PlayStation refund window

If you're on PlayStation and within 14 days of purchase, you can request a refund. Many players assume the 48-hour Bethesda policy applies everywhere - it doesn't. PlayStation offers longer protection; use it if you're unhappy.

Cancellation checklist before you submit

Stopee created this checklist to make sure you're fully prepared:

• Confirm which platform you subscribed on (Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, or Bethesda.net).
• Note your current billing date and renewal date.
• If using Scrapbox: move all important items to your regular stash or inventory.
• If using a private world: retrieve or screenshot any camps or progress you want to remember.
• Cancel at least 3-5 days before your renewal date to avoid double-charging.
• Keep a screenshot or email confirmation of your cancellation for your records.
• Verify after 24 hours that the subscription no longer shows as "active" in your account.

Comparison: keep, pause, or cancel

Before you finalize cancellation, consider whether keeping, pausing, or cancelling truly fits your needs and budget.

Stopee recommends cancelling if you haven't logged into Fallout 76 in over a month or if the NZ$23.95 monthly charge feels unaffordable. You can always resubscribe later when your situation changes.
