‘Fallout 76’ System Requirements Revealed Ahead of PC Beta
With Fallout 3 hitting the big 10 (and us celebrating it via retrospective), you’re probably wondering what the system requirements are for the next game in the series, Fallout 76. Plus, it only makes sense, since there’s that live beta that’s set for this week.
Well, Bethesda has gone ahead and added the requirements for you PC gamers on the game’s FAQ page, which we’ve conveniently reproduced below. As Fallout 4 players will see, Fallout 76 is slightly more demanding than its 2015 predecessor, but that’s no surprise.
The full version of Fallout 76 hits November 14 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
