The ninth generation of gaming has brought exciting experiences and upgraded classics, but one highly anticipated upgrade is still missing. Fallout 4, a beloved RPG from 2015, was promised a next-gen update, but fans are still waiting. While The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim received its next-gen treatment, Fallout 4 has been left behind. Bethesda promised this upgrade for the acclaimed RPG this year, but it has yet to materialize.

Fallout 4 introduced many new features like settlement building, refining the series’ core gameplay loop. While some mechanics and DLC may have left room for improvement, the game was a massive success, with a year’s worth of content additions.

As the new generation of consoles arrived, fans hoped for a next-gen update for Fallout 4, considering Skyrim’s re-release. Many studios were taking advantage of the ninth-gen hardware, yet Bethesda has been relatively silent about Fallout 4. It’s unclear whether the project was abandoned, but players are eager to experience the game with improved graphics on modern hardware. An official release window for the next-gen update would be greatly appreciated by fans, especially during the long wait for the next Fallout title.
While Bethesda focuses on Starfield, providing some clarity about the Fallout 4 update would be a welcome gesture to the dedicated fanbase.
