Fallout 76
You might have heard the news that Bethesda has opted to launch Fallout 76 on its own Bethesda.net launcher instead of on Steam. It had some of you questioning whether this meant Bethesda was no longer going to release its titles on the platform. Bethesda’s Pete Hines clarified with IGN during an interview at QuakeCon that this wasn’t the case, even if the company is focused on developing its dedicated service. “We did not announce ‘all future Bethesda games will not be on Steam,’” he explained. “That is not what we saw. We said ‘this game will be available exclusively on Bethesda.net.’”
And the reason for this was that the video game publisher thought this would be “the best way for us to provide the best experience and service to our customers is to be dealing with them directly, and not through someone else.” Hines also left up in the air the idea of Fallout 76 eventually coming to Steam. He said, “Is it possible? I guess, but I honestly couldn’t give you any guarantee one way or the other on whether it will or won’t.” Now, the question is when will Bethesda let consumers try out the upcoming B.E.T.A. It hasn’t announced yet when it’ll be coming out. Fallout 76 is set to come out on November 14 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
