Fallout 76 Stress Test Begins This Weekend On Xbox One
If you preordered Fallout 76 (digitally or physically), are a part of Xbox Insider, and live in North America, you have a chance to play Fallout 76 this weekend. This surprise play session will help Bethesda prepare for the larger Break It Early Test Application beta, which hits at the end of October and runs up until the game's launch.
Bethesda says this stress test is not the beta, and progress made within it will not carry over to the final game. Even if you match all of the criteria above, not everyone will get into the test. Bethesda says "you may be selected."
You'll know you are in the test by going into the Xbox Insider App and looking under content for the "Fallout 76 Stress Test." If it's there, you're on your way to West Virginia.
For more details on Fallout 76, check out my impressions piece which contains roughly three hours of footage of the game in action.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
