Pets are already on the Fallout 76 live servers, so there isn’t a future “coming soon” date to wait for. Bethesda’s pet feature was introduced with the Gleaming Depths update in December 2024, and a June 26, 2026 Bethesda post says a new World Pets testing server feature is arriving later this year for taking CAMP pets out into the wasteland.

What that means

  • CAMP pets like cats and dogs were added to the live game with Gleaming Depths in December 2024.
  • The newer World Pets update is what’s currently being tested, and Bethesda says it is coming later in 2026.
  • If you mean the older CAMP pet system, it is already live; if you mean pets that roam with you beyond CAMP, that’s the later 2026 feature being tested now.

Quick scoop

The short version: live-server CAMP pets are already out, while the more expanded “world pets” feature is slated for later this year.
