Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, but PS Plus users might be left disappointed

Fallout 4 is now available on next-gen consoles, offering 60fps gameplay and 4K resolution. But it's bad news if you claimed the game on PS Plus.

Probably won't happen for PS+ since Sony makes a clear distinction between a PS4 game and a PS5 game, unlike PC and Xbox where it is not a specific device game (It's now always an Xbox game).

So to make the PS5 game of fallout 4 available. Bethesda would need to renegotiate the complete deal with Sony.
hence why there's often only the PS4 version of the game available on PS+.

Let's hope Bethesda and Sony can arrive to term quickly.

In that same link, they talked to further support who said PS+ owners aren’t eligible. What a load of BS! The upgrade worked just fine for FF7R. I was looking forward to this. 😞

ChasterMies18d ago

PS5 upgrades for PS4 games on PS+ are hit and miss. The reason is usually that publisher doesn’t want to hand out free upgrades. Sometimes they offer the upgrade upfront, sometimes they are bullied into it, and sometimes they offer it later in a special edition that Sony buys for PS+. It looks here like Bethesda’s intent was to raise the profile of Fallout 4 (and sell some DLC) so I expect we will see an update for PS+ versions soon.

Bethesda themselves acknowledged that Plus users are eligible. There is just some kind of glitch and they are working to fix it.

It just started working for me. It wasnt before. Just had to claim the psplus version again.

I think a hard copy should be relatively cheap at this point.

ocelot0718d ago

Roughly a fiver for disc. It's also £3.99 on PSN right now for both PS4 and ps5 version.

P_Bomb18d ago

North America sale just ended. The timing for me absolutely blows.

So if I insert my ps4 disc I should get the upgrade?

raWfodog18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Yes, I'm currently upgrading/downloading my physical GOTY edition right now.

thorstein18d ago

I had PS4 installed waiting for the upgrade and there was a : Download PS5 Version" to the right of it on the game page.

thorstein18d ago

I think I paid $5 for it off the PS store.

anast18d ago

This article is funny. They tell you that $35 is a good deal for this game...We know whose side they are on.

Kekewei18d ago

Well ..I am downloading ps5 upgrade for ps plus version right now (psn HongKong)

AnotherGamer18d ago

Yeah saw it coming, hopefully the game goes on sale a lot.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl5d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis4d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast4d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast4d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead4d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.

They really need to get rid of weapon mods and bring back more unique weapons that are hard to get / find

anast6d ago

They won't improve it other than a slight graphical upgrade. They have always been better at live action than making games.

MocBistro6d ago

Only way it could improve is taking it away from Bethesda and regroup Classic Fallout (1&2) devs with decent budget and time to make it.
