See How The Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Compares To The Old Version
Over eight years later, Fallout 4 might be more popular now than ever, thanks to Amazon Prime Video's TV show based on the video game franchise. On top of that, Bethesda Game Studios has just released a next-gen update for the post-apocalyptic RPG that was originally released in 2015. One of the major features of this patch is updated visuals on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. [Update: As highlighted by Digital Foundry, it appears the game's quality-mode--at least on Xbox--is not functioning correctly. The resolution is not increased and the frame rate remains at 60fps, neither of which is meant to be the case in quality mode. We'll report back as we learn more.]
GameSpot has a comparison video--seen below--that shows Fallout 4 running on Xbox Series X before the next-gen update and afterward on Quality Mode. The main difference between the two versions is the frame rate. The improvement is noticeable even with the Quality Mode after the next-gen update, and there's a Performance Mode available too. Otherwise, visual quality seems pretty similar between versions.
Along with frame-rate improvements, the Fallout 4 next-gen update also adds new Creation Club content to the RPG. For instance, check out our Echoes of the Past guide, a new quest that focuses on the Enclave faction in Massachusetts. We've got a rundown on all of the Fallout update's new items, too.
