Hey Everyone,
Today's update notes provides a status update on the native XBOX Series and PlayStation 5 update and includes notes for various bug fixes and improvements to Appalachia.
---
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.
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.
