The Fallout 76 beta test is part of a multi-platform effort to polish the upcoming game before its Nov. 14 release date. While the testing is limited to specific hours on Xbox One for now, a PS4 and PC test is scheduled to begin Oct. 30 at an undetermined time. During the test players have access to a full version of Fallout 76, and all progress carries over to the final version for those who decide to purchase it. The number of participants is limited to pre-order customers, but Bethesda plans to expand access over time.

Fallout 76 comes to Xbox One, PS4 and PC Nov. 14.
