When is the beta release date?

The Fallout 76 B.E.T.A (Break-It Early Test Application) is set to be released on Tuesday 23 October for Xbox One players, which will be followed by PC and PS4 on Tuesday 30 October.

The servers wont be running 24/7 during the beta as Bethesda is aiming to get as many people as possible to play it at the same time so they can test the systems.

Servers are set to be active for between four and eight hours each day which will give them a chance to address any issues before the games full release.

Players can access the beta either by searching for it on the Xbox Store or PlayStation store, or through the Bethesda Launcher if you are playing on PC (PC players will need to register a Bethesda account to access the beta).
