It starts on Thursday, April 25, 2024. The next-gen upgrade will polish up “Fallout 4” in various areas and even bring with it completely new content. But first things first. Let's first answer the question about the platforms served. The update will be released for the PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Since Bethesda Softworks has often asked the community to pay for smaller extras in the past, the next question is likely to be the cost. Bethesda Softworks already confirmed in the official announcement that owners of “Fallout 4” can download the upgrade for free regardless of the platform.
Two new graphics modes for PS5 & Xbox Series X
What is now common practice in PS5 and Xbox Series X titles is also making its way into “Fallout 4” with the upgrade. We're talking about two graphics modes. The obligatory performance and quality modes are offered. Bethesda Softworks didn't give any specific numbers yet, but at least confirmed a display in 60FPS.
Here the publisher is most likely referring to the performance mode, which offers a smooth 60FPS and a reduced resolution such as 1440p. In quality mode, however, the developers should aim for a display in 4K and 30FPS. The team is also working on the general stability of the current consoles.
