Fallout 4 and DLC were mistakenly made free on Xbox One being revoked
For a few minutes, players everywhere started adding it to their collections, confirming that it does indeed work. Some believed the move was supposed to be one of Bethesda’s surprises lined up for E3, though it’s hard to imagine making the game and all add-ons free as part of any promotion.
At the end, though, it was revealed to be a mistake, an unintended effect of store maintenance. A Microsoft support representative confirmed to Neowin that the issue have been fixed and prices are back to normal.
Unfortunately, those who took advantage won’t get to enjoy their free games. “Those customers who were able to get the Fallout 4 deluxe edition for free will [have the game] be removed under their licenses automatically,” the representative said.
It’s interesting the rep only referred to the deluxe edition here, but there’s no reason to believe only licenses of this version will be removed.
With that said, it’s technically possible to have bought and downloaded what you wanted during, and promptly disconnected your console from the network – the only way you could play this now.

Didn't have time to download it myself but minutes later saw a tweet from XBL Support saying 'It was a glitch of some sort'

"Those who download any of the glitched Fallout 4 content on June 9 will receive a $10 credit from Microsoft by the end of June, but the free content will not work. The following message was sent out to Xbox owners that managed to grab a free download:
"Our pricing error on Fallout 4 has been fixed and your free download will no longer work. For the inconvenience we will deposit $10 by the end of June in your Microsoft Account. This expires one year from the time it was deposited."

I would've liked to try this and see if it was good. Didn't enjoy the other fallouts but maybe this one was good. Oh well.

You weren't able to keep the content anyway so you didn't actually miss anything. Gutted for those who have had it removed though..
