Fallout 76 Servers Down on January 20

Update: The complete patch notes are out, and list a slew of gameplay improvements.

While Bethesda has announced the server outage, the studio has not given a timeline on when the servers will go back up. It’s not surprising, given the studio has never really outlined the maintenance schedules.

Based on past server outages fir patches, players can expect Fallout 76 to be down for at least two hours, with the usual downtime lasting around 3-4 hours. There have been instances that the server outage lasted for days, but that’s a rare occurence.

If anything changes regarding the server outage, or if it takes longer than usual, we’ll update the article with the info.
