Bethesda updated the status of the Fallout 4 PS5 and Xbox Series X next-gen update over a year after it was announced. It is now coming in 2024.
Here’s Bethesda’s official statement, which ended up shared on social media on December 13, 2023. This next-gen update was supposed to debut before 2023 ended, according to the October 24, 2022 reveal. The announcement didn’t explain what might have caused the delay. It only cited the developer as needing more time to complete the update.
Prior to this reveal, one of the last times it came up was when former Bethesda Head of Publishing Pete Hines responded on social media on it prior to his retirement. When someone asked for an update, he mentioned Starfield was the priority and said, “When we have an update, we will share it.”
What do we know about the Fallout 4 PS5 and Xbox Series X next-gen update so far?
Bethesda’s been a bit tight-lipped about what the new version of the game will entail. Back in October 2022, it did note some cursory elements. A Performance Mode will show up as an option, which will offer a guaranteed, higher frame rate than the current version of the game.
There will be more to the Creation Club. These were the items people could create, play, and sell in-game. It wasn’t in Fallout 4 at launch, but did show up in the 1.10 update.
As a reminder, Fallout 4 launched on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC back in November 2015. It is now over eight years old. Following its launch, a Game of the Year edition with all of its add-ons also appeared.
Fallout 4 is on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and the PS5 and Xbox Series X next-gen update won’t appear for it until 2024.
