Progress Update on Native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Update
Thank you all for your patience as the team has continued their work on bringing a native version of Fallout 76 to XBOX and PlayStation platforms.
Development on this update continues, and we are pushing forward with our plans for a console testing period for those who own Fallout 76.
When this testing period starts, it also kicks off our inclusion of console players in the Public Test Server (PTS) experience. If you haven’t already, please join our Discord Server, which is the primary location for all PTS news and feedback gathering.
While there’s no date to share just yet (thank you again for waiting so patiently), you should expect the rollout to happen very fast once we’re ready to get things started.

Missing French Voice Over
Due to production difficulties, voiceover support for Burning Springs Update is not available in French. For the best experience, we recommend enabling subtitles in the game. We look forward to bringing back French voice over as soon as possible and appreciate your understanding.
