Bethesda Preparing Another Fix For Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update

Bethesda Game Studios today confirmed that it’s preparing another fix for the beleaguered Fallout 4 update that was recently released on all platforms. Since the next-gen update was released, it has found itself at the butt of many jokes and has been the source of much disappointment among the Fallout community at large.

The long-awaited update that was supposed to bring Fallout 4 back to life and finesse the ten-year-old game was a massive letdown, introducing countless issues on most platforms. Some players were even using mods to roll back the update or block it entirely.

On Twitter, Bethesda Game Studios posted a short but sweet message to the Fallout community, revealing that another fix for the fix is on the way:

On Monday, May 13 we will be updating Fallout 4 on all platforms. This update will include new options for graphics and performance settings as well as further fixes and improvements. Thanks for your continued feedback and support!

It’s only a small thing, but it’s better than nothing. One of the biggest and most highly anticipated changes at the heart of the Fallout 4 next-gen update was the newly introduced option to switch between Performance and Quality modes in-game. This was also one of the more flawed inclusions in the update, unfortunately.

The Fallout 4 next-gen update was delivered shortly after the release of the Fallout television series, a stellar live-action adaptation with a solid cast and glowing reviews. It took the world by storm and caused a Fallout frenzy to occur, with players flooding the games – even Fallout 76, which was long seen as a leperous stain on the franchise (but it’s actually really good).

On May 13, users on all platforms will get access to whatever features this fix brings – hopefully, it’ll get the Fallout 4 next-gen update in better shape. Regardless of these issues, Fallout 4 managed to be the best-selling game in the United Kingdom in April, which is nice.
