Bethesda will once again be updating a near decade-old game next week. It's currently prepping a Fallout 4 patch that promises «new options for graphics and performance settings», for release on Monday the 13th May. The update will also feature «further fixes and improvements», but we don't have the full patch notes yet.
Currently, the PS5 version of Fallout 4 has three graphics settings: a 60 frames-per-second performance mode targeting a dynamic 4K resolution, a 30fps quality mode at native 4K, and a special 40fps mode for 1440p displays. It'll be interesting to see what this new update brings to the table.
As for what «further fixes and improvements» might mean, there are a few weird visual bugs that this patch could clean up, like certain assets not being properly textured. Outside of that, though, your guess is as good as ours.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
would love it if fallout 3 and new vegas were available to play on ps5 (steaming the non GOTY ps3 versions doesnt really cut it)
I'd ask if they are going to patch out the jank, but if they did there would be nothing left.

If PS5 is connected to 120hz TV, then Quality mode targets 40fps. Similar as it is in Sony 1st party games.
In general PS5 has all options available, only in Menu settings it is not clearly stated. I expect this update will provide clear info in menu settings.
My guess is that the new graphics option will be 1440p/60/Ultra setting in-game rather than having to set it
