The recent Fallout 4 next-gen update encountered problems on PS5, notably affecting PlayStation Plus members who were unable to freely upgrade their PS4 version to the new PS5 version. Bethesda is actively working to resolve the issue. This update, which enhances Fallout 4 with graphical improvements and free Creation Club content, faced further challenges across different platforms, such as stretched HUD elements, graphical setting bugs on Xbox Series X/S, and issues with Creation Club content. The problems have even delayed the release of the anticipated mod Fallout: London, as it needs to be updated to function with the new game version. While players wait for solutions, some who may have purchased the PS5 version before Bethesda's advisement are looking for information about potential refunds.
