Absolutely, you can pause Fallout Shelter on PC simply by hitting the 'Esc' key. This brings up the main menu, and while it doesn't freeze the game in a traditional pause sense (time will still pass in real-time), it effectively stops all gameplay, allowing you to take a break without worrying about your vault getting into trouble!

Short answer: Yes, press 'Esc'. But don't expect time to stop. Your vault will continue aging gracefully while you're away.

Nope, hitting 'Esc' doesn't really 'pause' the game. Time keeps ticking. Learned that the hard way when I came back to chaos in my vault.
