A new update for Fallout 4 was just released by Bethesda. It seems like the focus of this new update is to tackle some of the feedback and reports that fans submitted following the release of the Anniversary Edition in November.
Bethesda says that they greatly appreciate the feedback on issues that have created "pain points" for players. As you can almost safely assume, mods that you use for Fallout 4 will more than likely need to be updated again before they work properly following this update.
One thing that didn't make this update in time was the storage expansion for console players. Bethesda says they need to cook that update for a bit longer and they hope to have it out in early 2026.
The full changelog for today's update can be found below.
