Fallout 4 For PS5 And Xbox Series X – Everything You Need to Know

For those looking to jump into the post-apocalyptic RPG for the first time, here's everything you need to know about it and its upcoming next-gen update.

[Barlos]

Got it installed on my PS5 ready for this. Not sure I'll play it very much though because I didn't like the settlements feature, it just never seemed to gel with me.

Looking forward to giving it a shot though

Use manual saves keep them backed up on ps4 it was a crasher

Just a fyi

[Barlos]

Hopefully it won't be after the update. Mind you it'll probably introduce some new bugs 🤣

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I was lucky and had minimal bugs at launch in 2015. I got the platinum trophy a month after launch.

[Seth_hun]

You probably need to download the native ps5 version, its not just a patch

[Abear21]

This was my question, article states it’s a native version so will need to re-download when it releases.

Hoping it’s not a Bethesda buggy mess as the game has been out forever, but not holding my breath. Also unsure if saves will transfer, unlikely as again it’s a new version of the game

"Not sure I'll play it very much though because I didn't like the settlements feature, it just never seemed to gel with me."

Doing the settlement related crap isn't mandatory, feel free to ignore it.

[anast]

Hopefully it's playable by now.

tod: Can you load the start menu?

q&a: yes

Todd: does it load in allow you to move?

Q&a: yes

Tod: Great its gone gold ship it that is the quality we here strive for.

[TheEroica]

Naughty dog would've charged us 70 bucks for this. Thank you Bethesda!

[anast]

@Eroica

It's free because they are going to let AI do most of the work.

[Barlos]

It was always playable for me on my PS4 Pro. I don't recall any issues aside from the usual 'Bethesda Bugs'. Nothing even close to game breaking.

[just_looken]

Now yes but first year it was very bad and you had to watch the save file size

[Barlos]

@just_looken

No I mean even back then, I can't recall any significant issues. Funny thing with the save file size is there were serious problems with Skyrim on PS3 because of the save file, until it was patched. Seems that Bethesda just don't learn.

[Abear21]

Far Harbor was barely playable on Pro for me, it was a slide show in the fog. I’ve been waiting for this patch for what seems like forever!

[brando008]

Tried to play it again on PS4 last week to finish Far Harbour, the game kept crashing on launch. Hopefully this new patch let's me start the game lol

[Abear21]

If Far Harbor is butter smooth and this baby has a smooth release overall I’ll take back everything terrible I ever said about Bethesda. This is the best game they put out in the last ten years. Still betting on a Day one patch incoming though and probably more to come. They should allow pre load bc their servers are gonna get boinked.

[Profchaos]

Yeah far harbour on the PS4 was playable for me but wow did that fog cause significant slowdown killed off any desire to explore and instead I would go point to point as fast as possible.

[gold_drake]

theres not rly much to know, other than the update comes out next week haha

[Abear21]

Here’s the one Pro Tip you need—play as Evil, it’s impossible to keep track of who you are supposed to be for and against with all the Factions—I say F them all and play Evil so it’s no stress! Lol

[kneon]

I never finished the game because I got to the point where the game really wanted me to pick a side, I didn't want to side with anyone so I just stopped playing. It's pretty rare for me not to finish a game, but it just got boring.

[raWfodog]

Gonna probably get back into this game since I never finished it.

[mkis007]

Its a long shot, but im hoping for some unannounced upgrades. The xb1 version on series x runs at 60 fps already, so I dont see how it should take them so long otherwise to port it.

[EazyC]

I wish they did a F3/FNV remaster duo pack instead

[NEVMOR]

Don't install the Automatron DLC, it will keep the game from starting up on the PS5!

[JL2930]

Glad to see Sony fans are eager to support Microsoft.

[mkis007]

Free

This might have been asked but: Will the DLC work with this new update?
