Fallout 76 battle royale pre-beta extended indefinitely

A pre-beta of the Fallout 76 battle royale, Nuclear Winter, has been extended, seemingly indefinitely.

“With all the excitement and popularity, we wanted to let you know that the pre-beta sneak peek of Nuclear Winter will remain on and continue to receive updates,” Bethesda advised late last week. An end date wasn’t detailed.

Announced back at E3 2019, Nuclear Winter is a 52-player battle royale. The team-based event also mixes PvE play in while players fight one another in an attempt to become the overseer of Vault 51.

If you haven’t had a chance to jump in and check the free mode out, maybe now’s the time? If you do, let us know what you think.

Fallout 76 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

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.
