Additionally, Fallout 4 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One receives a free update with stability improvements and fixes for login and quests. Furthermore, a free update for the PC version of Fallout 4 adds widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, as well as fixes to Creation Kit and various quest updates.

Players with PC versions of Fallout 4 on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and GOG will receive stability, mod, and bug fixes. Furthermore, Fallout 4 will now be available on the Epic Games Store and has been verified for the Steam Deck.

The update also includes new Creation Club content available for all players, such as the Enclave Remnants, an Armor and Weapon bundle, and a Halloween Workshop, alongside various changes and bug fixes.

Overall, this next-gen update arrives as Fallout 4 continues to be a highly played game on Steam, with its popularity sustained by a plethora of mods. The timing of the update coincides with the recent release of the first season of the Fallout TV show.
