According to Bethesda, this new Fallout 76 update has made the Nuclear Winter Battle Royale mode jump from its pre-Beta to Beta phase. They have made some design changes as a part of this new update. This is in addition to various tweaks and adjustments that were made in Fallout 76 update 1.20. It also includes many bug fixes for the game.
