Fallout 4’s next-gen update won’t be available to those who own the game through PS Plus, Bethesda confirms

Bethesda has confirmed that owners of the PlayStation Plus version of Fallout 4 will not be able to access the new content update.

Two years after its first announcement last week (April 25), Fallout 4 finally received the current generation update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X|S, which saw the addition of all-new features, including a Performance and Quality mode.

Unfortunately, although the upgrade was marketed as a free patch for all current owners of the post-apocalyptic role-playing game, PS5 users were left confused after an apparent bug made the upgrade unavailable for those who owned the PS Plus version.

However, after Bethesda said it would look into the issue, the studio later confirmed that those who own the title through PS Plus are not eligible for the update.

Instead, the free update is only available to those who are subscribed through the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog (via IGN), meaning that to access new Fallout 4 content, users will need to purchase a native PS5 version of the game.

Fallout 4 was once in the PS Plus collection, but that collection was removed from PS Plus in May last year. This could potentially be the reason for the lack of update for this version.

“We have noticed some confusion regarding free Fallout 4 next-gen update for PlayStation Plus Extra members,” Bethesda said in a statement on social networks. “THE Fallout 4 The next-gen update will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra members through the PlayStation Games Catalog. Your patience is appreciated while teams work on this. »

In addition, there is some confusion regarding reimbursement of Fallout 4after some players with the PlayStation Plus Extra version purchased the native PS5 version due to the previously mentioned bug.

Bethesda has yet to comment on this particular issue.
