The Fallout 76 beta will launch only one month before the full game releases, but it seems like some lucky players will be able to get a taste of the game before then.

On his Twitter profile, Bethesda’s Pete Hines confirmed that there will be some sort of smaller beta before the official one. No timeframe has been confirmed, as it will depend on what the team needs in terms of feedback and testing for the full beta.
