A New Look for the Wasteland
The biggest highlight of the Anniversary Edition is its visual overhaul. Bethesda added native 4K textures, faster loading times, and improved lighting across the Commonwealth.
Meanwhile, console players now enjoy performance and quality modes, letting them choose between 60 FPS gameplay or cinematic visuals.
The update also fixes dozens of long-standing bugs, many of which fans had previously patched with community mods.

Expanded Creation Club Content
This edition also bundles every Creation Club add-on released since 2015, including:

Next-Gen Upgrades Done Right
In addition, Bethesda finally optimized Fallout 4 for next-gen systems.
Frame rates are smoother, lighting looks natural, and the draw distance feels dramatically improved.
The difference is especially noticeable in dense areas like Diamond City and the Glowing Sea.
