As promised last week, Bethesda Game Studios has just released the second update for Fallout 4 Next-Gen, the latest version of the RPG originally launched in 2015.
This patch fixes various outstanding bugs and, most importantly, adds more options to tweak graphics and performance for console users on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S|X.
Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been able to implement the ability to control your graphic fidelity and performance. We highly recommend you run with the default settings but now you can change your options to better fit your playstyle and display.
Frame Rate Target allows you to choose between 30, 40, and 60 (default). It is important to note that to select 40, your display must be able to support 120hz. You can now choose between Visuals and Performance (default) while trying to maintain frame rate target. If you choose Frame Rate Target of 60, we recommend selecting Performance. Both modes may adjust internal resolution dynamically when scenes or action get heavier. Please note both modes can only be changed from the main menu.

Fallout 4, just like Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 76, is having a bit of a renaissance thanks to the incredible popularity of the Prime Video TV show (which has already earned a renewal for its second season). Bethesda’s latest single player entry in the franchise has easily topped April sales in the United Kingdom.
