Fallout 4's next-gen upgrade: bugged on Series X/S, disappointing on PS5 and PC

Fallout 4's next-gen upgrade for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, intended to modernize the nine-year-old game, has been met with several issues. The upgrade includes a dynamic 4K 60fps performance mode and a 4K 30fps quality mode, among other settings. However, it disappoints with underwhelming graphics and compatibility issues with mods on PC, and on Xbox, the performance mode toggle fails to function correctly.

On PS5, the performance mode toggle works, allowing users to switch between performance and quality settings, but the visual enhancements still do not match PC's highest settings. Overall, despite some improvements in resolution and frame rates, the upgrade falls short of expectations, particularly with unresolved bugs and limited graphical upgrades on all platforms. The update is free but has led to a mixed reception due to these compromises.
