In an exciting development for fans of the Fallout franchise, the highly popular game Fallout 4 is finally receiving a next-gen update. This news comes at a time when the game has seen a resurgence in popularity, thanks to the success of the live-action series adaptation on Amazon Prime.

The update, set to land on consoles and PC on April 25th, brings a host of technical upgrades to the game. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players can now enjoy native versions of Fallout 4, eliminating the need to rely on older console applications. The new apps offer two different modes for players to choose from: Performance Mode and Quality Mode.

Performance Mode is designed to deliver smooth gameplay with a target of 60 frames per second and a 4K resolution, while maintaining standard graphics settings. On the other hand, Quality Mode provides players with a more visually stunning experience, playing at 30 frames per second with a 4K resolution and graphics set to ultra.

The update also caters to PC players, as Fallout 4 will now be available on the Epic Store, alongside existing support for widescreen and ultra-widescreen displays. Steam players have an additional reason to celebrate, as the game is now officially Steam Deck Verified, allowing for seamless gaming on the go.

While the update is not yet available on GOG, the patch notes assure players that it will be coming soon. Additionally, the update includes various bug fixes for both PC and console players, enhancing stability and addressing issues reported by the community.

As an added bonus, all players will receive nine free Creation Club items, enriching their Fallout 4 experience. These items are a token of appreciation from the developers and contribute to the overall value of the latest update.
