Fallout 76 is a very different kind of Fallout game, with a new focus on multiplayer across a massive open world. Bethesda is putting it through its paces with a beta test releasing later this month, and you can join in to help explore the wastes and gather technical feedback before its official launch. There’s even a pre-beta stress test that a select number of fans will get access to. Here’s everything to know about the beta.

When does the beta start?

The beta for Fallout 76 will begin on October 23 on Xbox One, and then expand to PC and PlayStation 4 the following week on October 30. Even if you’ve received a code, though, you may not necessarily be invited to the first wave. Bethesda plans to start small to stress test the game and expand slowly, so your actual start date may vary.

A separate pre-beta stress test will also run beginning on October 13. That one is exclusive to Xbox One Insiders who have pre-ordered the game, and even then fulfilling those criteria only enters you into the pool of possible participants. Players of this stress test will be under NDA and unlike the beta, game progress will not be saved.

How long will the beta last?

Bethesda has not given a specific end-date for the beta, but it has explained that the servers won’t be available 24/7 during the beta period. The studio says it will be running “targeted time frames” to force interested players together at the same time, which in turn will mark a better technical test. The game may be available for 4-8 hours on any given day, with Bethesda making adjustments and fixes during the off periods. This process will repeat until a few days before launch on November 14.

How do I get in?

The beta will be available exclusively for those who pre-order the game across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Digital pre-orders will be entered into the pool automatically, while physical pre-orders will receive a code to enter into the accounts page once the beta has gone live on your platform of choice.

It’s important to note that this code is not the beta code you enter to access the actual game download. Instead, the pre-order code is the one you enter into Bethesda’s system to be put into the pool for code distribution. A separate code, which gives you access to the install, will follow at a later time as Bethesda rolls out its invites.

In the meantime, you can be sure you’re prepared by creating a free Bethesda.net login. Also, make sure you have an active Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus membership if you’re playing on either console, since those will be required to access the online-only game.

Is the beta the full game?

The Fallout 76 beta is the full experience, and Bethesda says it is currently planning to allow players to carry progress over into the full game. However, console players will need to redownload the launch version, whereas PC players will not need to download a new version upon launch. The beta will be 45 GB.

How do I submit feedback?

Bethesda is inviting feedback across its variety of social media channels.

What else will I get for pre-ordering?

Aside from beta access, pre-ordering will get you 500 Atoms–Fallout 76’s in-game currency. Atoms allow you to purchase cosmetic items from the shop. Bethesda has indicated that Atoms will be plentiful, but as we haven’t seen the shop or prices yet, it’s hard to say just how far 500 Atoms will go.

Steven Spielberg’s 1991 fantasy adventure film Hook is a classic. With an all-star cast, the movie follows Peter Pan in his older years, on Earth, and his journey back to Neverland, where the Lost Boys are now led by Rufio. Dante Basco portrayed that iconic role of Rudio, but he wasn’t too sure about his costume upon first seeing it.

When filming for Hook started, Basco was 15 years old, and when he saw Rufio’s costume for the first time, it was a bit of a shock. “I wanted to be cool,” Basco explained to GameSpot. “You got to understand, in ’91, we’re hip hop. We’re baggy everything, extra large jeans, extra large sweaters. I’m coming to the set everyday hip hop, like I’m from the neighborhood, and then they’re like, ‘Put on these tights.’ Red tights? What? ‘Put on these skin tight jeans.’ Then, they’re like, ‘Put on this skin tight shirt.’

“‘Hold on a second. Let’s cut it and have your belly button showing.’ I’m like, ‘What? A midriff?’ Then, they put on this Michael Jackson jacket. Michael Jackson ain’t cool in ’91. Michael Jackson was cool in like ’85, right? Now I got this Michael Jackson jacket on. It’s got all the tassels and stuff, and I’m like is there a loin cloth? What’s going on here?”

For as unsure as a young Dante Basco was about the costume and the three red mohawks he had to wear to portray Rufio, he didn’t think it was final. “You got to be civil, because it’s just a test,” Basco said. “I’m like maybe this is not going to be the look. This is just, we’re just trying something, and then they bring me around the corner, and Steven Spielberg, they’re like, ‘Steven, we got to show you something. This is Rufio.’ I walk around the corner, and then Steven just turns around real slow, and he’s like, ‘Yes. Yes.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah? Yeah?’ I just think to myself my belly button’s going to be out for the whole frigging movie. But, now it’s cool. Now it’s cool.

“I had no choice. Now, it’s super cool, but at the moment, you just want to be cool, man. Like, I’m just a 15-year-old kid. I’m still in high school. I got to date girls after this, man. Can I be cool? It ended up being cool, so I got lucky. I got lucky.”

You can relive all of Rufio’s moments in Hook, as the 4K edition of the movie is now on sale. It features 11 brand-new deleted scenes and the movie is fully restored from the original negatives in 4K definition.

Overwatch has kicked off its Halloween Terror 2018 event, and the patch that adds the holiday festivities includes a lot more besides that alone. The full patch notes show changes made to Torbjorn, color blind options, and a lot more.

Halloween Terror 2018 is the headliner of the update, but it also includes the major update for Torbjorn that was announced last month. Torb no longer uses armor packs or the scrap system. His secondary ability instead has changed to “Overload,” which works a lot like his previous Ultimate ability. The new Ultimate, called Molten Core, will shoot out pools of magma. Plus his turret build levels have been scrapped entirely, now permanently set to the second level.

“Torbjorn was initially designed to be a specialized hero, intended to be a strong defensive option due to his armor-generating capabilities and ability to control areas with his turret. However, the scrap collecting and Armor Pack mechanics have proven to cause problematic gameplay issues because of their feast or famine nature,” reads the patch notes from Blizzard. “To make him more flexible in a wide variety of situations, we’ve removed the scrap system, made the turret much easier to deploy, replaced the Armor Pack ability with Overload–a powerful self-buff–and transformed Molten Core into a powerful new area denial ultimate ability.”

The update also adds a new colorblind option, giving you nine different colorblind options to use for enemy and friendly UI. Those options can be found in Options > Video > Color Blind Options. The highlights for shields and barriers have between tweaked for easier readability, and health bars will become visible if an entity they create (like one of Torb’s turrets) deals damage.

Other changes include minor tweaks to Brigitte, Doomfist, McCree, Pharah, Mei, Orisa, and Soldier 76. The timer has also been adjusted for both Assault and Escort maps, giving players less time to setup but more to assemble the team. Besides Torb, Pharah got the most dramatic updates with a lot of changes to her rocket launcher knockback, explosion damage, and attack speed.

“We wanted to increase how responsive Pharah’s Rocket Launcher felt, because a full second of recovery between shots made it feel sluggish,” Blizzard says. “The overall damage potential is now increased when landing direct hits and decreased slightly when only dealing explosive damage.”

All of those changes come alongside Overwatch’s big seasonal event, which comes with a bunch of new skins and other cosmetic items to collect. It also includes the limited-time Junkenstein’s Revenge mode, which this year comes in both Classic and Endless Night flavors.

Overwatch has kicked off its regular annual Halloween promotional event, Halloween Terror. The seasonal event will operate through October 31, and brings with it a bunch of new spooky and kooky skins and other cosmetic items to unlock through loot boxes, as well as some significant changes–specifically to Torbjorn.

Blizzard has been teasing the event with some unveils of the new skins, including Pharah and Moira, Doomfist, Wrecking Ball and McCree, among others. The new trailer reveals several more like Bride Sombra and Slasher 76. It’s all styled after a haunted house, with the viewer’s perspective trying to escape the various monsters’ clutches. As advertised, the 50 loot box bundle includes a bonus 10 boxes during the promotion, for those of you hunting down skins.

The Halloween Terror event is available across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. In addition to the creepy Halloween-themed costumes, it will explore the next chapter in the story of Dr. Junkenstein–a Halloween version of Junkrat. The addition of Sombra as the Bride implies she’ll be joining his ranks in whatever this next piece of the story holds.

This year, Junkenstein’s Revenge includes not one but two playable modes: Junkenstein’s Revenge (Classic) and Junkenstein’s Revenge: Endless Night. It also adds two new heroes for the PvE mode, Tracer and Brigitte.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is going to take a healthy chunk of hard drive space when it installs from the disc, but you’ll need to keep some space open for the day-one patch as well. Depending on your console of choice, you should have as much as 112 GB of free space to complete the installation.

According to Activision’s support page, the day-one update has a download size of 50 GB, and when it’s all done the game will leave a 55 GB footprint on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. On PlayStation 4 you’ll need to have more room set aside, though, as it states that for an “optimized download experience” you’ll want 112 GB of free hard drive space. This is just the size needed to complete the installation, though, and once the process is complete it will go back down to the 55 GB requirement.

The update seems to be adding necessary components for the multiplayer modes, including Zombies, Specialist Headquarters, and the new Battle Royale mode Blackout. The notes mention that Blackout will be playable once the installation reaches around 30% on both consoles. On PlayStation 4, make sure you select “Update to Latest Version” when the prompt appears to be able to access Blackout during the installation.

Each of those notes goes for the disc-based copies that require a separate day-one install. If you buy it digitally, that copy will be 55 GB in itself, without any additional patch required. Check out our pre-order guide for more details.

Fortnite‘s weekly challenges are set to refresh on October 11 but, ahead of that, leaks have indicated what players will need to do to grab this week’s Battle Stars. Fortnite Intel reports that there will be three challenges in the free section and four in the paid Battle Pass section, as is standard. And it seems developer Epic Games is leaning into the Halloween angle for a couple of them–although not as much as with the new Skull Trooper challenges.

For Week 3, along with asking players to revive five people in different matches and embarking on a multi-stage quest started by opening a chest in Lonely Lodge, you’ll need to ring the doorbell of a house with an opponent inside five times, likely as a nod to trick or treating. Currently the game only allows you to interact with doors by opening and closing them, so it’s likely a new animation or interaction of some sort will be rolled out when the challenges go live.

Other noteworthy challenges include hitting a player with a tomato from 20 meters away or more and shooting three targets at five different galleries. Take a look at the full list of leaked challenges below. It’s important to note that, in the past, leaked challenges haven’t been 100 percent accurate, with some challenges being different from early reports.

Free Challenges

• Revive a player in different matches (5) — 5 Battle Stars
• Stage 1: Search a chest in Lonely Lodge (1) — 5 Battle Stars
• Ring the doorbell of a house with an opponent inside (5) — 10 Battle Stars

Battle Pass

• Stage 1: Visit Risky Reels and Wailing Woods in a single match (2) — 1 Battle Star
• Hit a player with a Tomato 20m away or more (1000) — 5 Battle Stars
• Shoot 3 targets at different Shooting Galleries (5) — 10 Battle Stars
• Eliminate an opponent in different matches (10) — 10 Battle Stars

Fortnite Update 6.02 is now available and it introduces the new Disco Domination Limited Time Mode. This gameplay mode tasks players with travelling to dance floors around the map and then getting their boogie on. Busting some moves raises a disco ball over the dance floor, which effectively means it’s being captured. Once a floor is captured a progress bar appears and is topped up. As you capture more floors, the bar fills, and the first team to reach 100 percent wins. You can find out more about the mode, as well as the new Quad Launcher weapon, in the Fortnite 6.02 patch notes.
