News Fallout 76's Beta Will Brave the PS4 After the Xbox One
Staying in the Vault
Even the most optimistic among you will probably expect Fallout 76 to launch in a less than desirable state when it arrives on 14th November, so it’s probably not worth panicking over the title’s beta being delayed on the PlayStation 4.

News Fallout 76 Is Going All-Out at E3 2018

Every year, one of E3's biggest games gets pasted across the towers of The Hotel Figueroa in Los Angeles.
