Aussies’ll have to chuck a sickie tomorrow to play in the Fallout 76 beta

Australians will have to chuck a sickie tomorrow if they want a chance to play in the Fallout 76 beta.

Bethesda’s recently confirmed the first closed beta period for Fallout 76 on Xbox One, and that time is between 10.00am and 2.00pm AEDT tomorrow, 24 October. That corresponds to 7.00pm to 11.00pm ET (or check your own timezone here).

If you’re at home during that time — and hey, no questions asked here — you’ll be able to pre-load the beta right now. There’s a full FAQ on how to do that here. A reminder as well that those who’ve pre-ordered the game will receive access to its closed beta.

Additional beta periods — on Xbox One as well as Windows PC and PS4 — will be announced at a later time.

Fallout 76 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 14 November. We recently previewed the title here.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
