A Fallout 76 Public Test Server is on its way once Bethesda figures out "all (or most of) the kinks"

Bethesda has confirmed a public test server for Fallout 76 is slated to roll out next year.

“A Public Test Server (PTS) is currently in the works with the hope to get it up and running in 2020,” Bethesda said in a brief update on its official blog. “Once we’ve figured out all (or most of) the kinks, we will be able to provide more details on our PTS and how you can participate.”

The update gave no specific window on when the PTS might be available, so it’s probably better to expect it later rather than sooner.

“We are constantly looking at your feedback and requests to see what’s possible to include in future updates,” the developer added. “Features like PC text chat, the option to rejoin a server when kicked or dropped, and others are something we don’t currently have a timeline for but are looking into. Please keep providing your thoughts and suggestions to us on Reddit, social media channels, and our official forums so that we know what’s most important to you.”
