Los Angeles, CA – Fallout 4 fans eagerly awaited the next-gen update for the popular post-apocalyptic RPG from Bethesda. However, PlayStation users encountered confusion over accessing the free PS5 upgrade, with some reporting issues obtaining the new version through PlayStation Plus.
Bethesda took to social media to address the situation, reassuring PlayStation Plus Extra members that they will receive the Fallout 4 next-gen update through the PlayStation Game Catalog, showing appreciation for their patience as the teams work on resolving the issue. The update will be available for those in the Extra tier, but uncertainties remain for those who acquired the game through the PS Plus Collection for new PlayStation 5 owners.
While Xbox Game Pass subscribers had seamless access to the native Xbox Series X/S version of Fallout 4, PlayStation users faced hurdles in obtaining the free PS5 upgrade. Some PlayStation Plus owners found the PS5 edition listed for purchase instead of being able to access it for free as expected, leading to confusion and frustration among the community.
As players eagerly awaited the update’s release, which brought Performance and Quality mode settings, support for 60fps, higher resolutions, stability improvements, and fixes, PC players also received additional benefits like widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, quest updates, and Creation Kit fixes. The update also included new content such as the Makeshift Weapon Pack and the Echoes of the Past quest.
Amidst the updates and improvements to Fallout 4, Bethesda’s RPG series has seen a resurgence in popularity, fueled by the success of the live-action adaptation and the evolving state of Fallout 76. The long-awaited next-gen update has reignited interest in the franchise, showcasing Bethesda’s commitment to providing enhanced gaming experiences for players across different platforms.
