Update: The latest update from Bethesda states that they are still working on getting Fallout 76 servers back online, however it’s looking likely they won’t be back up today as they note they require “several” more hours. In the very least, it does look like they will be compensating players for this inconvenience. 

We are still actively working to bring @Fallout 76 back online, however this will unfortunately require several additional hours for us to accomplish. We apologize for this inconvenience and are discussing ways we can make it up to everyone!
