Fallout 4 might be over a decade old, but it’s still the most relevant game for most players, as Bethesda stubbornly refuses to give us another game in the series to work on something called “The Elder Scrolls VI“. While they waste their time with that, the last game still provides a solid port in a storm, with hundreds of hours of fun to be had if you explore every nook.
In fairness to the developer, though, they have continued to support Fallout players and fans in other ways. Now, the latest effort on their part has arrived, and it’s a pretty major update that is seemingly delighting fans who continue to play the game to this day.
In case you missed it, Bethesda recently released a statement confirming a major update being rolled out for console players of Fallout 4. The main part of that reads as follows:
“We’re excited to share the Fallout 4 Creations storage expansion will arrive for consoles on May 27th. Console players will soon have more space to download content, including larger, more ambitious Creations. This update will allow for Creations storage on Xbox Series X|S to be scalable up to 100GB. PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox One will all have Creations storage increased from 1GB or 2GB respectively, to approximately 15GB.”
In a post sharing that on Reddit, the community rallied around the change, which most will tell you has been a very long time coming.
“PC player here, I had no idea the limit was that low for consoles. 1GB is crazy. Happy y’all are finally getting this upgrade,” one comment read.
“Have like 60GB worth of modded content on PC (to be fair, like 4/5 of it are loose hi-res textures). Darn, 1GB was brutal, and even 15GB isn’t a Bag of Holding,” another added.
There are a few potential problems and caveats with this latest update, before you go jumping in to have a great time. The developer has recommended that you load into any older saves you haven’t played in a while, as well as saving your load order manually. This is to avoid any potential issues with overwrites caused by the update.
All of the older games in the Fallout series still serve as great stopgaps while we wait for the next game in the series, but given that we might not be playing the fifth entry until the 2030s, they’ve got a major job on their hands to keep players invested in the franchise over such a long period.
