Publisher Bethesda Softworks and developer Bethesda Game Studios have announced that the upcoming Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update has been delayed from its previous 2023 release window to 2024 as it requires “a bit more time.” The next-gen upgrade will be free for those who already own the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The upgrade features new 4K visuals, high frame rates, and more.
Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the Fallout 4 next-gen update. We know you're excited, and so are we! But we need a bit more time and look forward to an exciting return to the Commonwealth in 2024.
