Fallout 4 Is Getting Another Update Next Week

thegamer.com:

Did you just get your modded Fallout 4 save up and running again? Well, enjoy it while it lasts - another update is coming on May 13, this Monday. The update is coming to all platforms and will make various "fixes and improvements", specifically to the game's graphics and performance.

This comes just a couple of weeks since the last update, which gave us the long-awaited next-gen upgrade on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. It also made some changes to PC - enough so that modded playthroughs were a mess until mod authors updated their creations, something that we'll seemingly go through all over again next week, albeit to a lesser extent.

While modders will be frustrated, many would argue that Fallout 4's next-gen build is in need of a patch. Ever since the update went live, players have reported glitches, bugs, and performance issues. In my own experience on PS5, I've experienced a few crashes - the first in the opening few minutes of the game - and a whole lot of animation and graphical bugs. It looks like enough players have reported similar findings, as Bethesda once again prepares to roll out a patch for its eight-year-old RPG.

The actual rollout of the next-gen upgrade wasn't without its fair share of issues too. Anyone who got their copy of Fallout 4 through the now-defunct PS Plus Collection had to wait a bit longer to access the update, as they were instead stuck playing the last-gen release of the game. This was eventually amended, and the update should now be available to all.

But of course, some don't want the upgrade at all. Many players turned off auto updates so their modded saves would be safe, but others who downloaded it and regretted it were looking for ways to roll back to a previous patch.

This upcoming patch is almost definitely much smaller, so it shouldn't be as disastrous for modders. However, we'll have to wait and see if this further pushed back the release of the fan-made Fallout: London, which was ready to go until the upgrade
