The pre-load for Fallout 76 has begun. Players on Xbox One can now download the game from the store, but this does not apply to everyone. Here’s what you need to know about the pre-load.
The beta of Fallout 76 will start soon, on October 23 players on Xbox One will be able to join. However, the servers will not be continuously accessible; there will be periods when they are online.
How long are the phases? Bethesda mentioned approximately 4-8 hours.
To ensure players do not miss any of these phases, pre-order players can now download the beta from the store. However, there are requirements for this.
Not everyone can start the pre-load
How can you download Fallout 76 now? For the pre-load, you must have pre-ordered Fallout 76 in the Xbox Store. According to xboxdynasty.de, the download is also possible in the German store. However, this does not seem to work for all users.
What if I ordered Fallout 76 somewhere else? You will probably have to wait until you receive your beta keys. This should happen shortly.
How large is Fallout 76? The full version will be around 45 GB, so it might take a while to download.
Do you have to download Fallout 76 again at release? Yes, but only for Xbox One and PS4 players.
The beta of Fallout 76 includes the full game
In the beta, you can test the full extent of Fallout 76. Due to the short periods during which the servers are available, they want to fully utilize the server capacities.
Can you carry over progress? Yes, unlike the stress tests, you will retain everything you earn in the beta.
What about the other tests? Recently, a network test for Fallout 76 took place for selected members of Xbox Insider. In North America, these players were able to play an early version of Fallout 76 after signing a non-disclosure agreement.
Could there be more such tests? Via Twitter, Bethesda already indicated that further tests could follow. These are more likely to happen on PC or PS4.
Did you pre-order from the Xbox Store and can start the pre-load? Let us know.
