Recently, Bethesda Game Studios revealed it had made the decision to delay its upcomingFallout 76September update, citing technical issues affecting the game’s rank-up purchases as the reason for pushing back its sixth season of content. Yesterday, the studio reversed that decision, confirming that the latest batch ofmultiplayerFalloutcontentis officially available right now.
As for whatFallout 76fans can expect from the game’s sixth season,the new update adds its long-touted Fallout Worlds feature, a fresh Scoreboard, new Daily Ops, and a long list of bug fixes. Although the update has plenty of other content to dive into, the aforementioned Fallout Worlds feature is the headlining attraction, allowing players to create their own servers that can be customized with an array of fun options.

As Bethesda revealed whenthe feature was announced, players will be able to hop into Public or Custom Worlds. The former offers a selection of curated, pre-customized servers that can be accessed by all, with Bethesda noting that the selection will rotate every month. Players exploring Public Worlds this month can try out servers that remove fast travel, drastically increase the jump height (while removing fall damage), and give users infinite ammo.
As for the update’s new Scoreboard, it’s known as The Unstopabbles vs The Diabolicals and brings some superhero flair to the wasteland. Players will be able to collect various new items as they attempt to achieve over 100 rank-ups, including cosmetics, consumables, and much more. There are even two new Allies to recruit, with Daphne and Maul joining the player’s adventure as vendors.
While the update is out now,Bethesdahas noted that the issue with purchasable rank-ups is still being worked on, confirming that the game won’t have them during the initial stint of the season. Of course, users can still rank up normally through accumulating S.C.O.R.E. points. As an apology,Fallout 76players will be able to nab double XP and double S.C.O.R.E. points during the weekend, with the studio confirming the promotion will conclude on September 13 at 9:00 AM PT.
Fallout 76is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
