Fallout 4 developer, Bethesda Softworks, made an announcement last Monday that it will be introducing a “next-gen update” in 2023 that will improve the game and run on Windows PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5. This update will affect frame rate settings due to various performance modes, as well as the game's graphical quality functionality for 4K resolution. Also, a number of bugs will be fixed.
The official statement also contained a hint of some bonus Creation Club content, but without any details. It is worth noting that in 2021, Bethesda has already pleased fans of The Elder Scrolls 5 series with Anniversary Edition and Special Edition updates, which not only optimized the game and improved graphics, but also made loading faster, and there were also a number of positive changes in versions for Xbox Series X and PS5. Recently, an update for Fallout 4 focused on the Xbox One X was released, which increased the frame rate to 30 per second and added 4K resolution. Also, Microsoft's FPS Boost feature has become available on the Xbox One X.
The very first version of Fallout 4 was released in 2015, and the game worked on Xbox One, Windows PC, and PlayStation 4. This game has become a worthy continuation of the universe with a rich and interesting internal history, where you can happily spend several hours without even noticing the passage of time. At the moment, Fallout 4 is the best-selling part of the series, on the first day of release it was purchased by more than 12 million users, which is a record for Bethesda. The creative director of the company, Todd Howard, has already announced the release of Fallout 5, but it should not be expected before The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield are released.
