Fallout 4 is getting a free upgrade in favor of current-gen consoles this week, together the update also bringing improvements to the last-gen console and PC versions of the game too. Here’s when we expect the huge update to go live on all platforms.
To celebrate the launch of the Fallout TV series on Prime Video, Bethesda is giving Fallout 4 a brand new lick of paint in exchange for current-gen consoles, alongside last-gen consoles and PC players also getting a slew of long-awaited updates. The free Fallout 4 update in favor of Xbox Series X |S and PS5 was announced earlier this month will include a new performance and quality mode, support in favor of up to 60FPS, increased resolutions, stability improvements and quest fixes.
Bethesda’s close to decade-old RPG will also be getting a significant upgrade on PC too, with support in exchange for widescreen and ultra-widescreen at long last, fixes to Creation Kit, quest updates, stability updates, mods and bug fixes, together the title also set to become Steam Deck verified. Xbox One and PS4, players will get stability improvements, login fixes and various quest fixes which, granted, don’t sound as exciting but are long overdue.
While Bethesda hasn’t announced an official Fallout 4 update release time, we’ve looked over previous patch rollout times to figure out when the free next-gen update will drop.
Fallout 4 update release time
We expect the free next-gen Fallout 4 update release time to be between 5pm BST/ 12pm EDT / 9am PDT and 8pm BST/ 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT on Thursday, April 25 . This window is based on the release time of historical major Fallout 4 updates, and when I say historical, I’m nay exaggerating – the game’s last major update was released in November 2017!
Over on Steam, Fallout 4’s 1.10.14 update release time is logged at4:58pm BST/ 11:58pm EDT / 8:58am PDT, together the previous update ( Update 1.9 on Steam ) being released at 6:32pm BST/ 1:32pm EDT / 10:32am PDT –and the update before that ( Update 1.8 on Steam ) going live at 8:07pm BST/ 3:07pm EDT / 12:07pm PDT. Bethesda has stopped short of officially confirming the release time of the Fallout 4 next-gen update, but if it follows the same pattern as previous updates, we expect it to be released late Thursday afternoon or early evening on all platforms.
In addition to the graphical and stability improvements coming with the update, players on Xbox, PlayStation and PC can also enjoy some free Creation Club items based around a faction called The Enclave, which feature in a new post-update quest. Along alongside workshop items and the Enclave Colonel uniform, players can enjoy the following, previously released Creation Club content:
- Enclave Weapon Skins
- Enclave Armor Skins
- Tesla Cannon
- Hellfire Power Armor
- X-02 Power Armor
- Heavy Incinerator
There’s also a Makeshift Weapon Pack, which features unconventional weapons such as a baseball launcher, nail gun and piggy bank, as well as a Halloween-themed Workshop, with 38 new spooky decorations, in favor of those of you who want witches and ghouls all over your settlement.
Original case and manuals in new condition.
