Fallout 4 is playable on Xbox Series X and takes advantage of Microsoft’s FPS Boost feature.įallout 4 was originally released in 2015 for PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One. The developer previously released an Xbox One X update for Fallout 4 that enabled 4K resolution and 30 frames per second refresh rates. The developer also hinted at “bonus Creation Club content,” but did not provide specifics about what type of creator-made items will be available.īethesda released a similar update last year for The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition, optimizing that game with enhanced graphics, faster loading times, and other changes for PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The update will include “performance mode features for high frame rates, quality features for 4K resolution gameplay,” and unspecified bug fixes.

If nothing else, it's another way to mark the series' 25th anniversary.Bethesda Softworks announced Monday it plans to release a “next-gen update” for Fallout 4 in 2023, with improvements to the game designed for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. No, this likely won't spur sales, but it might keep Fallout 4 in players' minds (and to a degree, Fallout 76) until there's a new release. As with CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 patch, it's an effort to sustain interest in an old game while work continues on a long-awaited sequel. While it's not clear exactly what improvements you'll see this time around, it won't be surprising if there are fewer compromises. The company took advantage of FPS Boost on Xbox Series X and S to deliver 60FPS gameplay last year, but apparently capped the resolution at 1080p. An update for the Xbox One X enabled 4K in the 2015-era title, but only at 30 frames per second. This isn't the first time Bethesda has spruced up visuals for Fallout 4. The upgrade will offer high frame rate and 4K quality features, and include new (if currently unspecified) Creation Club content.

VGC reports the game developer has unveiled plans to release a 'next-gen' (really, current-gen) update for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2023. Fallout 5 is nowhere near release, but Bethesda might have something to tide you over.
