Bethesda schedules ‘Fallout 4’ update next week, PC players to have access first
“Fallout 4” released last week and it has been a hit amongst series fans and new players alike. The game still suffers from several issues but luckily enough, only a few are handful. Most of these issues could be resolved soon as it seems that the developer is planning to release a batch of updates.
In a post by Bethesda, the developer notes that an update will be first released in a beta patch next week. The beta update will be made available to PC players first. More specifically, it will be readily available for those playing on Steam. Soon enough, it will fully launch to the PC then to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One afterwards.
Bethesda is yet to detail the contents of the upcoming update but it is speculated that it will fix several reported bugs that were discovered since the game launched on Nov. 10. So far, the bugs found are not harmless, except for one. This particular bug crashes the game unexpectedly when players travel to a certain area during a mission. Luckily, there are a couple of workarounds to the issue.
On the blog post, Bethesda admits that “Fallout 4” is far from perfect. That despite it being the most solid launch they’ve ever had for a game, it is still subjected to some bugs.
“It's true that the freedom our games offer you can lead to unintentional consequences that are sometimes bad, when the game combines too many unexpected elements at once. Given the scale and complexity of the systems at work, especially when allowing you to build your own settlements, we're happy that Fallout 4 is our most robust and solid release ever, and we'd like to thank our amazing QA staff who worked as hard as anyone to break the game so we could fix it during development,” Bethesda said.
Bethesda is doing good in supporting the game, and the developer has announced before that it will continue with regular updates for the game. “Fallout 4” is looking to be a pretty solid title breaking over 500,000 sold units in just a week MCVUK reports.
