Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Has Been Officially Released! What Improvements Wll Players Get?

For PlayStation and Xbox console players, the digital version will be available promptly at midnight local time in their respective regions.

Meanwhile, the PC community via Steam can begin downloading and playing Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition around 10 a.m. PT.

In addition to PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, Bethesda has also confirmed a release for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The Switch 2 version is slated for release in 2026, with strong speculation that it will arrive in the first quarter.

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition is designed as a comprehensive package that brings together all the best elements of the game.

This edition automatically includes the Fallout 4 base game, allowing players to immediately dive into the vast and mysterious post-apocalyptic world.

All six official DLC expansions are also an integral part of this edition, ensuring the most complete gameplay experience.

Expansions like Automatron, Far Harbor, and Nuka-World offer new stories, explorable areas, and unique enemies and items.

Other DLCs like Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop add building and customization options.

Excellently, over 150 curated Creation Club items are included, some of which have never been released before.

This content includes new weapons, armor, missions, and settlement items that enhance gameplay.

One of the main attractions of the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition is its significant graphical and performance improvements.

For PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S users, this edition offers Performance and Quality modes.

Performance mode allows gameplay at 60 FPS, while Quality mode focuses on higher resolutions.

Additionally, there are stability improvements, login fixes, and mission improvements.

This edition also introduces a new, more streamlined Creation system.

Widescreen and ultrawidescreen support for PC has also been added.

A variety of new Creation Club content, such as new weapons, armor, pets, and missions, is also included.

• New Weapons: Plasma Institute Weapon, Makeshift Weapon Pack, Ion Gun, Tesla Cannon, Heavy Incinerator.

• New Missions: "Echoes of the Past" (involving the Enclave), "Tale of the Beast Hunter", "Capital Wasteland Mercenaries", "Captain Cosmos".

For new players who want the full Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, the price is $59.99.

This price includes the base game, all DLC, and all available Creation Club content. This is an investment in getting the most comprehensive Fallout 4 experience.

Existing owners of the base game or the Game of the Year (GOTY) edition have more affordable upgrade options.

Upgrade packs are available for around $15-$19.99.

If you already own all DLC and expansions, you can purchase the "Creations Bundle" for $19.99 to gain access to all the new Creation Club content.

Game Pass subscribers will still receive the base version of Fallout 4 as part of their subscription.

Upgrading to the Anniversary Edition is expected to cost an additional $10-$15.

This option provides flexibility for a wide range of players to enjoy all the latest features and content of this special edition.

Bethesda has scheduled two major patches to address issues that may arise after the launch of Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition.

The first patch will be released on November 24, 2025, followed by a second patch in December.

One significant improvement coming in the November 24 patch is an increase in the local storage limit for mods on Xbox to 2GB.

This will give Xbox players more space to install their favorite mods.

The patch will also address various known issues, including Creations Bundle display issues on PlayStation, exit saves not being created, "LOOKUP FAILED!" placeholders in the user interface, and crashes or slow navigation issues in the Creation Storefront.
