PS5 Update Woes for FALLOUT 4, But BETHESDA Promises Fix

Apr 26, 2024 9:28 AM

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.

How can PlayStation Plus members upgrade to Fallout 4's next-gen version on PS5?

Bethesda is fixing the issue with the free Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade for PlayStation Plus Extra members. Once resolved, members will access the update through the PlayStation Game Catalog. The studio has advised players to be patient as they work on the solution.

Fallout 4, originally released in 2015 by Bethesda Game Studios, is an open-world action RPG set in a post-apocalyptic environment. Known for its rich storytelling, player choice, and expansive world, Fallout 4 continues to have a strong fanbase years after its release. This new next-gen update was highly anticipated as it is meant to refresh the game for the latest consoles by enhancing performance, visuals, and adding new content, further extending the life of the game and its supportive modding community.
