The long awaited release has finally came to an end and Fallout 4 is already available in Australia.

If you are too anxious to wait another 10 hours for the release to be available in your timezone, you can pretend to be an Australian and be among the first people to play Fallout 4. All you have to do it to use a VPN, get an Australian IP and install the game.

If your are more into Battlefield 4, you might check this new VPN game server…

Install the VPN client for your operating system (Win or Mac) and make sure you are completely signed out of steam and that it's closed.

Connect to one of the Australian IPs provided into the VPN client.

Once the connection is setup you can start-up the steam. The Fallout 4 counter will be wrong but if you were to open up the browser version it should be correct.

Wait a few minutes until the timer reach 0 and then you can start Fallout 4. Chuck Steam into Offline Mode and disable the VPN. You are now having Australian IP and can now play Fallout 4. You should not restart your computer though until the game is released in your region.

Steam has never been one to ban people for doing this, so just know if they start doing so you're doing this at your own risk.

Setting up the VPN on PS4/XBONE is not impossible but is a long way and implies having an Australian account. It does not worth the trouble so you better wait another few hours for the release to be available in your country.

Happy gaming!
