On Thursday evening UK time, there was a bit of a bug on the Xbox Games Store that set the price of both Fallout 4 and the Fallout 4 Deluxe Edition to approximately $0.00.

A whole stack of people obviously cottoned on as soon as it was posted on Reddit and waded in to get their free game. The price was fixed an hour or two later but the "free" game continued to work, leading folks to think that they'd made off with a nice score.

Not so, sadly. Microsoft has started revoking licences on the game for those who picked it up for nothing but, as a goodwill gesture, is giving those affected $10 in Xbox credit, as you can see from the above message that was sent to a pX reader.

The game is still working for some for the time being, but the chances are that sooner, rather than later, you'll run into the old "Do You Own This Game?" error message if you nabbed it for free and try to fire it up.
