Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Out Now, See The Patch Notes

Fallout 4’s long-awaited free next-gen update is rolling out today, April 25, ushering in performance and quality improvements to help the 2015 RPG look and perform potentially better than ever. Bethesda is calling this a next-gen update, though the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles have been on the market since 2020.

The highlight of the update are performance and quality mode options. When players select “Performance” mode, they’ll run the game at up to 60fps with 4K resolution via dynamic scaling. On “Quality” mode, the game runs at 30fps at 4K (without dynamic scaling).

The next-gen patch for Fallout 4 was announced back in 2022 and was originally set to debut in 2023 before Bethesda delayed it to 2024. It arrives today not long after Prime Video’s Fallout TV show arrived and helped lead to a resurgence in Fallout player numbers.
