Fallout 76

Fallout 76 beta starts October 23 for Xbox One, October 30 for PS4 and PC

Bethesda Softworks today released details for the Fallout 76 beta. The testing will start for the Xbox One version on October 23. The PlayStation 4 and PC betas begin on October 30. The full game launches on November 14.

Betas are important for finding bugs and balancing gameplay in online multiplayer games like Fallout 76. But in this case, it’s about more than testing. To access the beta, you need to have already preordered the title. This turns the beta into a preorder incentive, which can help drive sales of the game.
