Apr 16, 2024 2:06 PM

Fans excitedly returning to Fallout 4 on Xbox after being inspired by the Fallout TV show have encountered a frustrating issue: achievements are not unlocking as they should. This hiccup has been prevalent since the end of March, with players reporting the bug on forums like TrueAchievements. Bethesda has acknowledged the problem on their support site and are actively investigating the root of the issue. In the meantime, they suggest players confirm they've met the achievement criteria, check network connections, and ensure their trophy/achievement list is properly synced. PC and PlayStation users are not affected, and it seems like a fix should be on the horizon soon. In related Fallout news, Erik Todd Dellums, the voice actor of Three Dog from Fallout 3, has hinted at a possible appearance in the upcoming seasons of the Fallout TV show.

Ah, the classic Bethesda bug saga continues with Fallout 4 achievements not unlocking on Xbox. It's a bummer for returning fans, but at least Bethesda is on the case, and a fix should be rolling out soon. In the meantime, it's all about patience and maybe giving those achievements another shot.

It's frustrating to hear about the Fallout 4 achievement bug on Xbox, especially with the renewed interest sparked by the Fallout TV show. It's good to see Bethesda actively addressing the issue, and hopefully, a fix will be rolled out soon, allowing players to fully enjoy their wasteland adventures once again. Also, the potential appearance of Three Dog in the TV show is a cool nod to longtime fans of the franchise and adds an extra layer of excitement to the Fallout universe.
