The highly anticipated next-gen update for "Fallout 4" has been postponed to 2024, as announced by Bethesda through the Fallout X/Twitter handle. Originally scheduled for a 2023 launch, the delay suggests a pushback to give developers more time to refine the game. The update promises to bring a performance mode for improved frame rates and a quality mode with 4K resolution, alongside bug fixes and additional Creation Club content. The update will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

While fans of the series are awaiting the next installment, "Fallout 5," Bethesda has clarified it will come after "The Elder Scrolls 6." In the meantime, Bethesda continues to support "Fallout 76" with ongoing updates that add new dimensions to the game's online experience. The news of the delay reaffirms Bethesda's commitment to quality and enhancing the player experience, even if it means waiting a little longer.
