A mainline Fallout game from Bethesda hasn’t been released in a long. Fallout 5 is not coming soon, so for now, fans will have to settle for the seven games that are already out there, which were just combined into a cute little bundle. In the wake of the critically acclaimed Fallout TV series, Bethesda has revealed a significant upgrade for Fallout 4.
On April 25, users of PCs, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X will receive the aforementioned update. Fallout 4 can be played at 4K 60 frames per second on consoles, with Performance and Quality options available. The update, without the additional content and cosmetics, will also be released for last-generation consoles.
The new Fallout 4 update also adds several QoL and stability improvements. PC players get ultra-wide monitor support and the ability to buy the game off the Epic Games Store. It gets Steam Deck Verified, too. While it isn’t nearly as comprehensive as The Witcher 3’s remastered version, it is good to see Bethesda breathe life into what many consider one of the more tepid games of the franchise.
On top of everything, Fallout 4 will add some new in-game content and items. It adds a new faction called The Enclave (also referenced in the TV show) and some related quests. A new Enclave-centered ending would be a nice addition. Lastly, Bethesda seems to have torn a page of Far Cry 6’s book and thrown in some improvised weapons.
