Very nice. Im sure many may start a new game to experience it all over again in better performance. I just did the same with FO3.

Obscure_Observer18d ago

New game for me too.

That black power armor from Enclave and the new Tesla Cannon looks badass!

GamerRN18d ago

I've had 60fps on Series X already since it launched. Is this different?

Tacoboto18d ago

Maybe try reading the article, or even the description below the headline.

That 60fps is the system-driven FPS Boost, this is a full current-gen optimized release making its way to PS5 too alongside other updates impacting all versions.

--Onilink--18d ago

In terms of performance, not really. FPS boost was already getting the game to 60.

But they are adding some other fixes and adding some stuff for free from the Creation Club

darthv7218d ago

Yes. It is native Series X upgrade instead of using the XBO back compat game with FPS boost.

GamerRN18d ago

Ok, so it'll be 60fps just like before, with the same 4k upgrade it already had.... Got it

Tacoboto18d ago

Maybe not. That's a wait-to-find-out. FPS Boost on Series X runs in the One S mode as opposed to the 4K One X mode. It could be that the new Performance Mode is actually tweaked to the new consoles instead of the base-last-gen mode, and Quality should obviously be improved over that One X mode.

GamerRN17d ago

Fallout 4 stays 4k in fps boost mode...

Tacoboto17d ago

No it doesn't. It runs in the One S mode.

GamerRN17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Ok, maybe, who knows

GamerRN16d ago

I love how people are such Richards when you ask a question... Why can't gamers just be helpful? Why do people feel it necessary to be so mean instead of just answering a simple question?

Tacoboto15d ago

You attempted denying a fact, after you asked a question that's literally answered in the description of the article.

Who's the Richard, the one giving you the right answers or the person not bothering to read?

It's such a good game. Still play it on pc every so often years after release. Can't wait to try it on ps5.

VenomUK17d ago

Will the PS5 version have DualSense updates?

I know Sony mandates that PS5 games must have but I don’t actually know if a PS4 game updated to PS5 also counts.

ocelot0717d ago

Not to sure. I hope it does that would be great.

I also loved fallout vr on pc. I hope they bring fallout 4 vr to psvr2 but I doubt it.

ZeekQuattro17d ago

You'd think after damn near a 4 years people would stop calling current gen next gen. I know 2020 was an unprecedented year but damn. 🤣

Profchaos17d ago

Agree IGN still run a next gen console watch for machines we've had since 2020 it's becoming a joke

isarai17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I dunno, with how slow of a start this gen has been compared to others, i kinda get it 🤷‍♂️

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 20h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 23h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 16h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN2d ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 10h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

GamerRN2d ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 16h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 16h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
