Fallout 4 Is Finally Getting A Next-Gen Upgrade

Earlier this month I kicked off another Fallout 4 playthrough on my PlayStation 5 and immediately questioned why this game hadn't received a next-gen upgrade, or remaster. Little did I know that the plan was already in motion.

Bethesda Game Studios have announced that Fallout 4 is getting a free downloadable update on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. According to a recent blog post, this will include native applications for both consoles, a Performance mode and Quality mode, and stability improvements and fixes. Players will finally get their 60 FPS Wasteland experience.

Last-gen consoles won't be left in the dark, either. Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will also receive a free update that includes stability improvements, login and quest fixes. PC players will also be receiving a free update, including widescreen and ultra-widescreen support,  fixes to Creation Kit, quest updates, stability, mods and bug fixes.

A huge array of content is being made available for free through the Creation Club, including a new quest, “Echoes of the Past,” that adds an additional Enclave storyline. 

Fallout 4's free next-gen upgrade arrives on April 25, 2024 for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Fallout 4 will be made available to purchase on the Epic Games Store and will be Steam Deck verified.

This update comes just after the release of Prime Video's Fallout TV adaptation, which released to rave reviews. Still thinking about checking it out for yourself? Be sure to read our spoiler-free review of the first two episodes.
