Fallout 4 New Gen Update When?

[Sparhawk122]

Over half a year ago it was announced that a new gen update for Fallout 4 was in the works.

How is it we have heard nothing about that since. Have they cancelled it do you think?

[Zekiran]

Bethesda Time is slower than Valve Time and more twisted, so no we do not know anything more than you and only speculation since the announcement last year.

[steventirey]

If it was canceled, there likely would have been a notice. Also, if they had meant it to release in the beginning of the year they also would likely have had an actual date to tell us instead of just "sometime in 2023".

it's gonna be some time in October. if not, don't bother.

Well, I mean some of us will still be playing fo4 when Starfield staggers drunkenly onto the stage and falls off it several times before finally crowd surfing into the sunset.

Have any bethesda games EVER had full Italian? Maybe Dishonored and/or Prey?

Weird that it would take them that long to make a few quality of life changes that modders can do in a few weeks time. I think BGS are just plain incompetent.

Sounds like late September or October is the likely release then.

it's October 'cause that's when the bombs dropped. wink, wink nudge, nudge. doan blame me none. just a guesstimate on my part. don't care if I'm right or wrong & neither do they.

You are assuming they have actually been working on it since then. For all we know, they haven't even started working on it. They might not even have planned to start working on it until months later. The only reason they announced it when they did was likely because it was the 25th anniversary of Fallout.

They're not gonna release it before Starfield. That'd just cannibalise the attention of their products.

They'd do it in Oct/Nov. It's the perfect time. 1 month after Starfield release so the smaller game (FO4) won't get sidelined + it's FO4 anniversary. Do a sale along with the upgrade announcement, maybe drop some small crossover/mention to Starfield and give it an attention boost post release

[UsernameTaken666]

yes, same reply every time someone asks this. it will not drop anywhere near starfield so no one knows.

[.:Jj:.]

I'd be very surprised to see it much sooner before X-Mas'23 season, even if it's a much smaller deal than people are hoping for when it comes to size and scope of changes and additions.

It's the biggest deal for MS this year and after going through the gauntlet of underwhelming/'lacking 1st party games and Acti-Blizz drama, they prolly don't want to risk anything, and taking even a bit of spotlight from Starfield is not a good PR-business move.
In a window after Starfield's release they'll try to reach as many people as possible through all means- copies sold, GP subscriptions, consoles sold. F4 update wouldn't be that distracting, but I wouldn't bet on it personally.

[JABBA69R]

my guess is they'll drop the update around the time the new TV is live on the air, also betting they'll have a tie in with the new show and fallout new Vegas on launch too. if they do this it would bring more attention to fallout = more sales.

[globefish23]

My guess is, that this update involves some (perhaps all) features from the new engine used in Starfield.
I think the release date will be approximately the same.
Perhaps a couple weeks before the release of Starfield, so they can get feedback from FO4 player base.

Am hoping the new gen update includes a developer fix for the long load times on SSDs.
