For starters, the update brings brand-new Quality and 60FPS Performance modes for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players. Other changes also include “stability improvements, login, and quest fixes,” which will roll out with it.
PC gamers haven’t been left out of the fray, either. The Fallout 4 next-gen update brings widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, fixes to Creation Kit, and various quest updates. Furthermore, Fallout 4 will now be Steam Deck verified and available on the Epic Games Store. This long-awaited update will be completely free as it enters your vault on April 25 for all platforms.
Fallout 4 New In-Game Content
Apart from stability, performance, or quality enhancements, this Fallout 4 update also brings more in-game content. According to the Bethesda News portal, here are all the in-game content coming for Fallout 4 this April 25:
Enclave Remnants
The ashes of the past rise again! A remnant of the tyrannical Enclave, a pre-war shadow government, has infiltrated the Commonwealth in Fallout 4’s new quest, Echoes of the Past. In this thrilling expansion, you’ll face a critical decision: Will they crush their resurgence and their dangerous ideology, or will they establish a foothold in the already ravaged wasteland?
This update includes the Enclave Colonel uniform and workshop items, as well as a selection of popular content previously released on Creation Club, including:
- Enclave Weapon Skins
- Enclave Armor Skins
- Tesla Cannon
- Hellfire Power Armor
- X-02 Power Armor
- Heavy Incinerator
Makeshift Weapon Pack
Who says a piggy bank can’t pack a punch? This diverse weapon pack throws out the rulebook, offering a mix of unconventional tools like a baseball launcher, a nail gun, and a surprisingly effective piggy bank weapon.
Halloween Workshop
Trick or treat, year-round! These 38 haunting decorations, leftovers from a bygone Halloween bash thrown by the New England Technocrat Society, are back. Liven up your settlements with witches, cauldrons, ghouls, and other spooky delights – perfect for Halloween celebrations or adding a touch of wasteland whimsy any time.
While Fallout 4 can be misjudged for its issues, I actually loved the game for its storytelling and gameplay. After experiencing the post-apocalyptic world again in a TV series, it is time for me to update my game and revisit the adventure. After Starfield (Review) came out I did not think Bethesda would shower us with a free update for Fallout. But well, here we are.
