The highly anticipated next-gen update for Fallout 4 was released on April 25, 2024, but not without its fair share of technical issues across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms. PlayStation 5 players were met with availability errors and confusing messaging from Bethesda, while Xbox players found themselves unable to access the game’s Quality Mode for 4K resolution on ultra settings. PC players also reported numerous bugs in the update, with mods no longer working as intended.
The initial reaction to the patch notes and bug fixes was negative among players, with many reporting missing textures, character bugs, and poor performance. Steam Deck players also experienced issues with launching and playing the game, adding to the frustration.
PlayStation users faced confusion regarding the free upgrade, as a $19.99 purchase was required to access the new update. These issues were magnified amidst the increased popularity of the Fallout franchise, which has seen a resurgence in recent months thanks to the critically acclaimed Amazon TV series.
The Fallout 76 game saw a record one million players log in on a single day following the release of the TV show. As fans eagerly awaited the next-gen update for Fallout 4, the technical issues have put a damper on the excitement. Bethesda has been working diligently to address these issues and provide players with a smoother gaming experience moving forward.
