Bethesda Provides Free Next-Gen Update for Fallout 4 to All PS Plus Subscribers
Bethesda, the renowned gaming company, has fulfilled its promise to make Fallout 4’s next-gen update available to all PlayStation Plus subscribers, including those who obtained the game through the PlayStation Plus Collection promotion.
PS Plus Collection Fallout 4 Upgrade Discrepancy
Initial confusion arose when not all PlayStation Plus subscribers who received Fallout 4 through the PlayStation Plus Collection promotion were able to upgrade to the native PlayStation 5 version for free when the update went live. This led to dissatisfaction among PlayStation gamers who wanted to experience the enhanced next-gen features.
Bethesda Addresses the Issue
Bethesda took notice of the issue and subsequently made an official statement, announcing that the next-gen update was always intended to be available for all PS Plus subscribers. The studio also expressed its gratitude to gamers who brought this problem to their attention.
The Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update on PlayStation
The next-gen update for Fallout 4 on PlayStation aims to provide improved performance and visual enhancements for players on the PlayStation 5. The update ensures that players who acquired the game via the PlayStation Plus Collection can now access the update without any hindrance, obtaining the updated experience Fallout 4 has to offer.
Other Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Issues
While the availability of the next-gen update has been sorted for PlayStation players, it’s worth noting that the update’s launch has not been without its share of troubles. Xbox players, for instance, discovered that the Quality Mode, promised with the update, was missing. Bethesda, acknowledging the concern, informed players via Twitter that the next-gen update for Xbox Series X ensures 4K resolution and 60 frames per second across all modes, with Performance Mode “adjusting settings more aggressively to maintain this target.”
Impact on Fallout London Mod and Fallout TV Show
Interestingly, the launch of the Fallout 4 next-gen update came at a time of increased interest in the Fallout franchise. The recent success of the Fallout TV show on Prime Video has been the talk of the town. Unfortunately, the update’s release date foiled the plans of the highly anticipated Fallout London mod creators, forcing them to delay the mod to avoid any negative impact caused by the Fallout 4 next-gen update. Several crucial mods supporting the mod’s development were severely affected by the recent PC patch release.
