If you remember the mention of aFallout 4free new-gen update sometime last year then you would not be mistaken as Bethesda promised just this. However, with the update planned for 2023 and us hurtling towards the end of it, it appears as though we won’t be seeing it any time soon.
New-gen updates are all the rage lately with titles such asThe Witcher 3andCyberpunk 2077getting the treatment. As a way of updating games to keep up with the rapidly increasing performance rates on current-gen consoles, this is the perfect way for studios to keep fans happy… and their wallets full.

With no updates and the studio perhaps hard at work onprolonging the lifespanof its latest releaseStarfield,it has perhaps put theFallout 4update on the backburner. However, fans are not ones to forget and many have taken to Reddit to share their confusion.
“What ever happened to theFallout 4next-gen console update the people were talking about?”Postedone user to r/Fallout. “Just curious since I haven’t heard anyone talk about this since like around June.”
What followed was a plethora of reasons as to why Bethesda have seemingly forgotten about the update with one user claiming it is waiting for the hype that will arrive with theFalloutTV series.
“It’s likely that they will wait until theFalloutTV show is out to capitalize on its hype,” they claimed. “From a marketing perspective, they want people buyingStarfieldright now, so it doesn’t make sense financially to release a product that would rival it so quickly. It sucks for us, of course, but you always have to think of what will make the most profit, and that will usually be the answer.”
