Fallout 76’s BETA is very focussed to stress test Bethesda’s servers, to put it one way, and needlessly stingy and awkwardly timed, to put it another. After the first test session on Xbox One occurred overnight on Tuesday, kicking off at midnight in the UK and 1AM on Wednesday in Europe, Bethesda have announced two more testing windows for this weekend:
We’re excited you’re excited to play more #Fallout76. We hope to see you in our next two sessions:
– Saturday, Oct. 27 – 5pm ET to 7pm ET
– Sunday, Oct. 28 – 12pm ET to 2pm ETWe'll have more sessions featuring extended hours to share soon. Thank you for your support! pic.twitter.com/4W4CwPTRQD

Those times equate in the UK to 10-12PM on Saturday 27th, and then at 5-7PM on Sunday evening. Thankfully they’re a bit more easily timed for those not in the US, especially since they’re not ridiculously late on a school night, but each session is just two hours long.
Thankfully, more sessions are on the way as the BETA spreads to other platforms next week, and Bethesda promise that they’ll feature “extended hours”.
