Two Final Fallout 76 Beta Sessions Announced
By Ford James ·
Two more Fallout 76 beta sessions have been announced by Bethesda before the full release on November 14.
For the last week, players on PC, Xbox One and PS4 have been able to jump into the Fallout 76 beta and enjoy exploring Appalachia. Instead of being a non-stop beta like most games however, Fallout 76’s beta has been split into different sessions as a means to stress test the servers. The full game has been available but only for designated time slots. Yesterday saw the conclusion of the third session for all platforms and due to the success it’s seen, Bethesda has announced two more beta sessions.

The next beta session is on Tuesday, November 6 at 1pm-3pm Eastern. For other timezones, that equates to 11am Pacific, 5pm UTC, 6pm GMT, and 5am AEDT. It’s only a two hour long session though so make the most of it.
The Fallout 76 beta will also be available on Thursday, November 8 at 2pm-8pm Eastern. For time zones outside of the U.S., that runs pretty late but it’s no doubt worth it for the Fallout fans. That’s 12pm Pacific, 6pm UTC, 7pm GMT and 6am AEDT.
Fallout’s tweet confirms that these are the final two beta sessions before the game launches on November 14, so there’s almost a week of waiting before we can get our hands on the game again. After that though, the Appalachian wasteland will be ours forever!
Despite a lot of controversy surrounding Fallout 76 since the unveiling, the beta has done well. The /r/FO76 subreddit is full of players praising the game and having played extensively ourselves, we’re thoroughly enjoying it. There were some hiccups during the first session for PC players with the beta files being deleted from people’s systems on startup but since then, everything has ran smoothly.
In other gaming news today, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies hunters have finally discovered the final cutscene for one of the maps after almost a month of playing.
