For a series that has built its success with stories set in a post-nuclear war world, there certainly is a lot of optimism right now surrounding Fallout 4 and the franchise at large.
A season of premium television on Prime Video most recently thrust the Fallout series back into the spotlight, and now Fallout 4, the series’ last mainline console game, has a major “Next-Gen Update” coming next week, publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer Bethesda Game Studios announced.
The update includes native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S ports, Performance and Quality modes, and stability improvements and fixes. Fallout 4 players on PS4 and Xbox One will also receive a free update with stability improvements and login and quest fixes.
Bethesda is smart to capitalize on the success of the show. Even just in our little RPGFan world, we have seen the Fallout series dominate recent discourse (see recent Random and Retro Encounter podcast episodes). If you’re pretty new to the Fallout universe in general, you can check out our Fallout 4 review.
