In October, Bethesda revealed the Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition, marking ten years since the game’s original launch. This updated version aimed to be the ultimate Fallout 4 experience but quickly faced criticism due to bugs and glitches. Now, Bethesda is working on updates for November and December to address these issues.
Recently, the company shared patch notes via social media. While they didn’t directly respond to the backlash, they expressed gratitude for player feedback about their experiences. The development team is focusing on fixing DLC installation problems, occasional crashes, and improving the overall user experience.
One exciting update mentioned is a mod storage expansion for console versions of Fallout 4. However, the developers indicated that it will take extra time before this feature is available. They also hinted that details about the upcoming December patch would be released soon.
In addition, Bethesda promised players several free Fallout 4 Creations. The first one, The Varmint Rifle, will be available next week. Players will need to complete a series of challenges, including solving puzzles and fighting enemies, to earn this unique rifle.
