Well, Fallout 4’s next-gen update arrived yesterday, as expected, though its deployment has been far from issue-free. The most noteworthy of these was a problem which has led to those who previously acquired the game via PlayStation Plus being unable to upgrade it to the PS5 version for free. Bethesda’s said that it’s working on rectifying this, with players being left to twiddle their thumbs in the interim.
If you’re just catching up on things, Fallout 4’s next-gen update brings the game to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as including some graphical tweaks and bug fixes that vary from platform to platform. There’s also a fair amount of free Creation Club content bundled in with it.
Sadly, when PlayStation players who’d previously acquired their PS4 version of the game via PlayStation Plus attempted to upgrade it to the new PS5 version for free – as they’d been told they’d be able to – they were instead only greeted with the option buy the PS5 version seperately. Naturally, this caused some backlash, especially given that the process seemed to be working as intended for those upgrading in similar fashion on Xbox.
