Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update: Release Date, FPS Details & Estimated Launch Time On Xbox

6pm isn't to bad won't be able to play anything till after 7pm anyways hopefully there's a big difference and it's noticeable I loaded up fallout 4 last just to see where my last character was left and the game looked a lot better than I remembered

The PC update also makes the game Steam Deck verified.

All I'm bothered about is finally getting game breaking bugs fixed after many years of waiting. Hopefully they don't mess it up.

Fallout London sounds cool Bethesda should help them and if it's good enough make it a proper DLC expansion or game.This way people on console can play think it's only for PC due to the size.

Any word on GOTY DLC content being updated too?

@johnK Nearly sure the whole game all dlc included will be updated I'd be shocked if they weren't

I have a feeling a lot of people already playing this on Series X|S and using the FPS Unlock Mod will probably not notice much difference with this update.

@GamingFan4Lyf You don't get any achievement when using mods. Although I'm more interested in the bug fixes.
One of the DLC I gave up on completely, it felt like I was going from one bugged mission straight to the other.

Load times are the most important reason for me....it's the reason I never finished it when it released....load times just killed it for me..made me not want to ever go inside anywhere

@GamingFan4Lyf. I have said as much before that you can already do 4K 60 FPS with a small settings tweak mod & FPS boost in the compatibility settings.

While from a technical standpoint it's nice that's going to be a native option going forward it's not going to be a major difference on its own.

As with most things Bethesda do I expect that once modders use this new baseline to build from we might see some fancy eye candy.

As an aside while I understand the Fallout London folks frustration. The timing sucks for them given that they were on the cusp of release of their mod after years of development.

That said Bethesda don't owe them anything or any special consideration with regard to Fallout 4.

@BBB Ultimately your right they don't but it's still a crappy move considering they knew what they were planning I'm sure they would of signed an NDA to keep them happy if Bethesda tryed but pockets need filling and it would of stolen the updates thunder so to speak

@GamingFan4Lyf I stopped playing it a bit after. I also thought it was a mod and you couldn't get achievements. Thats why I stopped

@IssaBrvndo There is the FPS Boost route, but it's limited to the Xbox One resolution only. The FPS Cap Mod was only for those who wanted "4K/60" on Series X - at the cost of no Achievements (should one even cares).

Hopefully, aside from bug fixes, this update does more for visuals than simply implement the FPS Cap Mod.

Yeah Im excited for the 4k 60 and it looks and runs smooth. I never finished 4 when it first came out. So im behind on the times haha.

Looking forward to the update. I would think with the Fallout London Mod they could have just made it exclusive to the old version then work on an update. I'm no programmer though and I don't want to sound like this stuff is easy to do when I have no idea what's required. Hopefully everything works out for them, it seems they put in a lot of time and resources.

I'm going to finally finish the expansions. Very excited.

@StylesT yes yes yes! Flipping load times really hampered the game for me. On that note, New Vegas on Series X is fantastic for that very reason. The load times on 360 were excruciating.

Fallout 4 is great but I'm not sure if I'm going to jump back in yet. I already did a replay of it last year. I will probably continue with 76 and maybe replay 3 since it's been a few years for me on that one.

Very excited if we get some graphic enhancements. Probably not but a person can hope.

@Justifier I think it will be just an update. Will fall under the Smart Delivery no doubt

Sounds like a bare minimum update really. It's a shame they weren't planning to give it a major upgrade with improved textures, lighting etc. But this is Bethesda, we should be thankful for anything really. And of course its free, so cannot complain.

Purchased the GOTY Edition a while back, but haven't played a minute of it yet. Looking forward to playing the game with the upgrade for the very first time! Got pretty excited watching the "Fallout 4 Is Better Than You Think"-videos by Many A True Nerd. lol

Sad when us Xbox fans have an old game and that’s been the biggest thing to look forward so far this year on the console

@Meehanuk_1987 I was thinking about that, but there are some good games coming out. And it's not much better on my PS5.

HURRY UP AND BE 6PM ALREADY!!!

@ChopperCampbell the fallout updates are already out ,7 of them including dlc updates

It is live! Checked on my PS5 and the plus version does not have a free update.
I tried my disc version and I got access to the upgrade. Just FYI for those on PS5

Did the file size drop? It was sitting a 52GB, but on the app now says 36GB. (Series X)
