According to the official schedule of upcoming BETA sessions released by Bethesda, the Fallout 76 BETA was due to end yesterday; the 4th of November. However, the studio has now released a new and updated schedule; one which adds two extra upcoming BETA sessions for players to participate in.

Two More Days Planned for the Fallout 76 BETA
The new schedule for the Fallout 76 BETA adds a pair of additional playable sessions. These two new sessions will be playable on all platforms. The first of the sessions is relatively short; it will only last for two hours, from 1 PM ET to 3 PM ET on the 6th of November. Two days later, however, a much longer session will take place. This one, on the 8th of November, will run for six hours, from 2 PM ET to 8 PM ET. As before with the Fallout 76 BETA, there will not be alternate times for players in other time-zones. As such, players in Europe and the UK will find that the sessions take place much later in the evening.
This schedule revision comes not long after Bethesda extended two of the BETA session times. This was done to make up for time fans lost on the PC version of the BETA due to a major bug. The issue caused the game to require a complete re-installation, wasting hours of time for many fans as they attempted to play the BETA for the first time.
The two new sessions will give players much more time to make use of the newly-released Fallout 76 BETA Friend Codes. Every player with access to the BETA has been given three friend codes which they can find on Bethesda.net. These can be used by other gamers to gain free access to the BETA, even without having pre-ordered the game. However, these codes were only released two days ago; seemingly leaving fans with very little time to make use of them. Fortunately, there are now two more opportunities for gamers to try the upcoming game for free if they have a friend with codes they can use.
