[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63105, member: 1"] The next-gen update for Fallout 4 is finally live, bringing Bethesda’s 2015 RPG up to par for modern consoles and PCs. But what exactly does next-gen update mean, especially in 2024? We’ve broken down the biggest changes that are now available in Fallout 4 thanks to Bethesda’s update, which not only includes graphical and technical changes, but even additional content as well. Remember to check out our list of [URL='https://www.ign.com/wikis/fallout-4/Things_to_Do_First']“Things to Do First” in Fallout 4[/URL] for anyone jumping into the game the first time with the next-gen patch. [URL='https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2024/04/25/fallout-4-mod-1714070722268.jpg'][IMG]https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2024/04/25/fallout-4-mod-1714070722268.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [H2]Powered for Current-Gen Consoles[/H2] The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are miles more powerful than the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles on which Fallout 4 originally released. The new update will bring the nearly nine-year old game up to modern-day standards thanks to the next-gen update. Fallout 4 now supports 4K resolution on consoles, regardless of whether you choose between either the new Quality or Performance mode. The main difference is Quality mode targets 30 FPS at 4K resolution on ultra settings without dynamic resolution scaling. Performance mode, meanwhile, targets 60 FPS at standard 4K resolution with dynamic resolution scaling. Furthermore, depending on your display, Fallout 4 on Quality mode will target 40 FPS when connected to a 120Hz display, or 1440p resolution at 60 FPS on ultra settings when connected to a 1440p display. Remember, for console players, there’re also [URL='https://www.ign.com/wikis/fallout-4/Console_Command_Cheats_Codes']Console Commands and Cheats[/URL] that you can enable even when playing on a PS5 or Xbox Series X. One note of warning! It appears that the next-gen update is not available for players who own Fallout 4 through a PS Plus subscription currently. However, Bethesda has stated the next-gen update [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-4-ps-plus-owners-currently-cannot-get-the-next-gen-update-for-free-update']will be available for the PS Plus version[/URL] and that the studio is working on a fix. [H2]Squishing Bugs (for now).[/H2] Speaking of bugs, Bethesda has been working away on squashing game bugs even after nearly a decade since launch. The patch notes for Fallout 4’s next-gen update include a long list of bug fixes, ranging from technical issues, save data issues, locked missions, broken assets, and more. However, it appears the introduction of the next-gen update [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-4-next-gen-update-riddled-with-issues']introduced some other issues[/URL] as well, which we’ll continue to monitor as more and more time is spent with the new update. [H2]Changes For PC Owners[/H2] Thanks to mods and typically better performance, PC Fallout 4 players have been playing the game at a higher standard than console players from even before the patch. But with the next-gen update, there are still some new benefits to PC players. With the update, there’s now official support for both wide and ultrawide screens. Furthermore, the Fallout 4 Creation Kit has received a set of fixes and updates for easier navigation and to fix bugs and crashes. [H2]Greater Availability on More Platforms[/H2] Fallout 4 is now also officially available on the Epic Game Store, as well as getting an official “Deck Verified” badge for Steam Deck. Frankly, there weren’t too many issues running Fallout 4 on Steam Deck before, at least from my experience, but the verification should mean the process of getting Fallout 4 running on Valve’s handheld is smoother than before. [H2]Additional Mission Content and Gear[/H2] It isn’t just a technical update that’s in Fallout 4’s next-gen patch. Bethesda’s patch notes begin with a long list of new gear and questlines available in [URL='https://www.ign.com/maps/fallout-4/commonwealth']The Commonwealth[/URL]. There’s a brand new Enclave storyline called Echoes of the Past that has ties to a storyline from Fallout 3, and there are new weapons, Power Armor, and outfits for players to find along the way. Two more new questlines, When Pigs Fly and All Hallow’s Eve, will further unlock more content from the Makeshift Weapon Pack that includes a Nail Gun and Baseball Launcher, to spooky Halloween props for your settlement. You can find IGN’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/wikis/fallout-4/Walkthrough_and_Quest_Guide']full walkthrough and quest guide[/URL] here to help you on your way with these new storylines. These are the biggest changes in Fallout 4 thanks to the update. For both returning and new players, this is a great chance to [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-4-next-gen-update-revisit-bethesda-amazon']jump back into Fallout 4[/URL], especially after the success of the Fallout TV show.
