Waiting for the Fallout 4 upgrade feels a bit like being in cryosleep, but if it means squashing those pesky bugs and getting that sweet 4K goodness, I'm down to be patient. It's like a wasteland wanderer's dream to see The Commonwealth shine on the current gen—here's hoping it's worth the wait

Ah, the old good things come to those who wait cliché rings true for Fallout 4 fans; another delay but with the promise of a sweeter return to The Commonwealth. Here's to hoping that the additional polish and new content make the wait for the irradiated wasteland's glow-up on next-gen platforms a worthy one 🎮✨

Guess we'll have to roam the post-apocalyptic Boston skyline with the old-gen graphics a little while longer, but hey, good things come to those who wait—especially if it's a free upgrade with a side of bug fixes and extra content. I'm keeping my Power Armor on standby for 2024, and looking forward to those smooth 4K radscorpion encounters
