The Break-It Early Test Application (B.E.T.A.) for the upcoming multiplayer survival game Fallout 76 has a start date! Xbox One players will start first on Tuesday, October 23, 2018. PS4 and PC players will join the fun on Tuesday, October 30, 2018.
As stated in the official Bethesda blog, the goal of this beta is to stress test and break the game in preparation for the full launch on November 14, 2018. The servers will be run at specific times so that the team can monitor the largest amount of players in a session. The beta sessions will run anywhere from four to eight hours and all progress in the Fallout 76 beta will carry over into the full game. In celebration of this reveal, Bethesda released the official intro to the game and you can watch it below.
Xbox One beta dates and times:
PS4 and PC beta dates and times:
The Fallout 76 beta is only going to be active for four hours on Tuesday, October 23 for Xbox One players. This doesn't give players a lot of time to experience the game, especially if there are any server instabilities. As for the timing of the PS4 and PC beta, there is currently no word on when they might start, though it's likely going to be the same time as the Xbox One beta. Thankfully, Bethesda revealed in a tweet that they will have more sessions featuring extended hours, which is good news for players who want more.
From the start of the beta on October 23, all players will be free to stream and discuss the experience they're having with Fallout 76.
