While in a post online community manager Valseek said: “Starting at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Thursday, April 11 we’re planning to bring Fallout 76 offline across all platforms to perform maintenance and apply an improvement for server stability.
“We will let you know as soon as downtime begins, and you can return to this thread for updates as maintenance progresses.
