[STEAM][PRESS]Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update 2 Includes New Graphics and Performance Options, Other Fixes

[Steam 0]

Bethesda has unveiled its first Fallout 4 patch since the big next-gen update released last month, including some new graphics and performance option settings and a few other fixes.

The studio had said the update was coming last week, and today rolled it out across Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4/5, and PC. The most important parts are those aforementioned graphics and fidelity options, with the Frame Rate Target now allowing you to choose between 30, 40, and 60 (default). As Bethesda notes, your display must be able to support 120hz if you choose 40.

You can also choose between Visuals and Performance while trying to maintain framerate, with Performance being recommended for 60 FPS.

The update also includes a short list of other fixes, including general stability improvements and a few crashes fixed. See the full patch notes below.

Fallout 4 – Next Gen Update 2 Notes

Xbox Series S|X and PlayStation 5 Display Settings: 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: 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.

Visual and Performance Prioritization: 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.
