The short answer
BETHESDA *FALLOUT 1ST is an authentic monthly recurring subscription charge from Bethesda Softworks LLC (Microsoft) for Fallout 76, granting private adventure worlds, infinite scrapbox storage, and monthly Atoms.
Why Bethesda Billed Your Card
A charge listed as BETHESDA *FALLOUT 1ST on your bank statement indicates an active Bethesda Softworks Fallout 76 Fallout 1st Premium Subscription billed by Bethesda Softworks LLC (Microsoft). Fallout 1st is the optional membership tier for the multiplayer online game Fallout 76. Active members gain access to private game worlds, unlimited crafting material storage via the Scrapbox, a separate Ammo Box, a placeable survival tent, and an allowance of 1,650 Atoms deposited into their account each month.
This charge renews on a recurring schedule, typically billing $12.99 each month or $99.99 on an annual cycle until you turn off auto-renewal. Statement lines often appear as BETHESDA *FALLOUT 1ST, BETHESDA, or BETHESDA *FALLOUT 800-642-7676 MD. If you do not play Fallout 76 yourself, a family member with access to your gaming console or PC likely signed up for the membership and saved your payment card for renewals.
Because billing runs through the storefront where the game was installed, you cannot cancel this charge directly on a bank website. You must log into the specific platform used to play, such as Steam on PC or your Microsoft account on Xbox, and open your active subscriptions list. From there, select Fallout 1st and turn off recurring billing. Any crafting supplies stored in your Scrapbox remain accessible after your plan ends, but you cannot deposit new materials. If the charge was completely unauthorized, contact your storefront support team or call Bethesda support at 1-800-642-7676 to request a refund and secure your account.
