Bethesda released the opening movie of Fallout 76 and it will officially release on November 14th, but your first chance to experience the game can begin much earlier than that with the B.E.T.A. (Break-It Early Test Application), that will arrive first on Xbox One on Tuesday, October 23rd, and one week later for PlayStation 4 and PC players on Tuesday, October 30th.
Check out the opening movie and B.E.T.A. release date of Fallout 76, featuring a cinematic video:
About the B.E.T.A.
During the B.E.T.A. one of our primary goals is to stress test and break the game. As such, the servers will not be running 24/7; instead, they’ll be online during targeted timeframes so we can get as many people as possible playing at the same time. Why? Because that’s the best way to put all our systems to the test and see how they respond.
On any given day the game might be up for anywhere between four to eight hours. Focusing as many players as we can into these windows is our prime objective. Then we’ll fix what we need to fix and do it again and again from the start of B.E.T.A. until a few days before launch. We’ll give you as much heads up as possible because we need you to log in during these times and play the game. We’ll also keep you posted through our official @Fallout and @bethesdastudios on Twitter as well as the Bethesda.net forums and our Bethesda.net Status Page to learn when servers will be online.
While the adventures you and your friends will experience will all be unique, you’ll start the same as everyone else: within the safe confines of Vault 76 on Reclamation Day.
