At Summer Game Fest 2026 I caught up with Fallout 76's John Rush (Creative Director) and Bill LaCoste (Production Director) to talk about where the game is now — and thelong-requested feature that's finally coming.

We get into the boom the Fallout TV show created (bringing new and lapsed players back to a game that's had 68 ee updates), Fallout becoming a full-on cultural phenomenon, the new Infestations expansion that's out now, and how the team balances veterans and newcomers. Then the future: current-gen Xbox Series X|S and PS5/PS5 Pro buildsPlus PTS access for console players — and camp pets becoming true companions that follow, quest, and fight alongside you, from dogs and cats to hogs andeven deathclaws.
