Because it's PC. It was already next gen, even more so with mods.

Did you read what the "next gen" updates were for consoles?

Still won't stop Bethesda from needlessly "updating" Fallout 4 and breaking F4SE once again just so the PC version can get......*drum roll*....ultrawide support and bug fixes. Whoopie.

PC is getting things for the next gen update too. Including proper ultrawide monitor support finally.

You're kidding right? This is PCMR. We've already had a next gen update years ago. Console peasants are just now catching up lol.

cause this game is a CONSOLE game, and got imported to PC , thats why this game feels so stiff like a BRICK ! it was this at RELEASE and will be that way 4 ever. cause CONSOLE IMPORT !

"Next gen" updates are only for the inferior console versions, PC has always been "next gen"

[rckrz6]

pc is getting upgrades but there is no such thing as next gen for PC

Steam Deck verified will be nice.

Fallout 4 has like 89k players this month on steam, which is over double the playerbase of fallout 76 for this month, despite fallout 4 being the older title and this being a record high for fallout 76.

They are smart to improve their more popular game.

From which 'gen' you are talking about? 2015? So next gen means nowadays 9 years old. Strange mind. Maybe the nuka fever.

the next gen update is just an update to make the game native on ps5/xsx... it says nothing about graphics. lol. we're getting bug fixes and content updates too.

That's just how Bethesda rolls, unfortunately. They are constantly updating their PC games YEARS after release just for some small minor thing that was already fixed ages ago by mods, and then poof, there breaks all your mods due to dependencies being out of date.

I mean, Bethesda literally ruined peoples hopes of playing London soon because they HAD to update the game with their silly little addition.

At the very least when they made Skyrim next-gen it was a whole separate product, going from 32-bit to 64-bit, so those who weren't ready to make the jump could still enjoy the 32-bit version while the modding community would gradually update to 64.

But Fallout 4 was already 64-bit on release, so the excuse this time is even more dumb. This "next-gen" update isn't even close to that level, not even on the console. By all means go ahead and update the console versions because they might actually benefit more at the risk of breaking mods, but not PC.
