Players hoping to view the Commonwealth in 4K/60fps will have to wait a little longer, as Bethesda Game Studios has announced that the free Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC upgrade for Fallout 4 has been delayed into next year.”Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the Fallout 4 next-gen update,” Bethesda announced on X. “We know you’re excited, and so are we! But we need a bit more time and look forward to an exciting return to the Commonwealth in 2024.”Bethesda revealed that a “next-gen” upgrade is coming to Fallout 4 in 2022 via a blog post for the Fallout franchise’s 25th anniversary. The free upgrade was down for a 2023 rollout with “performance mode features for high frame rates, quality features for 4K resolution gameplay, bug fixes, and even bonus Creation Club content,” but it looks like the team is behind schedule. We don’t have a 2024 release date just yet, but you can be sure that we’ll let you know when we do.Amazon’s Fallout TV show releases on April 12, 2024, so we are only a couple of months away from getting some sort of Fallout fix. It will be interesting to see if Bethesda drops the free Fallout 4 upgrade soon after the launch of the series so it can ride the hype train… or win back some goodwill from players if it meets a reception similar to the Halo TV show from Paramount. “Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout is the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have,” the Fallout TV show’s description says. “200 years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind — and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird and highly violent universe waiting for them. From executive producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of Westworld, starring Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins and more.”
