All your mods are now broken... again. Probably.

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...

Already own all of the DLC? Spend another $20.

Today, Bethesda released Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition. This is "the most definitive version of Fallout 4" to date and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. This release essentially includes all of the previously released DLC and expansion, while also adding in an additional pack of over 150 pieces of Creation Club content. Now, if you already own Fallout 4, then things get a little weird. Bethesda even made a visual chart that ...

No funny business.

It's been a little while since we had a NewsBits here and I figure we were about due. That, and I had a bunch of emails that I simply did not want to write numerous, separate stories for. This one will be a boring, by the numbers NewsBits. There will be no funny business here. No laughs. No guffaws. And there certainly won't be any cackles.

New Releases and Demos

Plus a physical release bundle for Fallout: New Vegas and the start of Seasons in Fallout Shelter.

Prep the tea.

Fallout London, the massive fan created total conversion mod for Fallout 4, is now available. You can download Fallout London from GOG.

Even though the mod is available through GOG, it will work for both the Steam and GOG versions of Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition. There are specific instructions for the Steam version that you will need to follow for installation though. The Steam install of the mod is a bit more complicated than the GOG version. There...

After years of development and setbacks, the mod is almost here.

Fallout London, the total conversion mod for Fallout 4, is very nearly ready for release. The latest news says that the team is basically waiting for the green light from GOG.

The release comes after several years in development from a dedicated team along with a handful of unfortunate delays. The latest delay came when Bethesda released a couple of updates for Fallout 4 in late April. The "next-gen"...

This figure comes from Amazon.

The Fallout TV show has been quite the success for Amazon Prime. Amazon revealed to Variety that 65 million people have tuned in to watch the show within the first two weeks of availability. This makes Fallout the second most watched Amazon Prime title ever, placing it just behind 2022's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Though it's second overall for Amazon, Fallout is the top when it comes to being the most watched with viewers...

Over 37,000 downloads and counting.

As many players have come to find out already, that Fallout 4 next-gen update seems to be quite busted on all platforms. The issues that have come from last week's update are perhaps most evident with the PC version of the game. While consoles may have some bugs here and there that are common to all platforms, the PC version has the added pitfall of user mods being completely broken.

At release, the only course of action PC gamers...

Fans have waited years only to get a half-baked update.

A "next-gen" update for Fallout 4 players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S was announced back in December 2022. It was delayed out of a planned 2023 release and finally saw the light of day just this week on April 25th.

Sadly, the long-awaited patch came out feeling like it still needed some time in the oven. Not only are some long-standing bugs not fixed (crashes related to weapon debris on Nvidia...

All platforms are getting an update of some variety.

Bethesda Game Studios announced a next-gen update for Fallout 4 back in 2022. The expected release window was for some point in 2023. That window then slipped to a 2024 release as 2023 neared its end. We now know that this long-awaited next-gen update will drop on April 25.

Not only will there be a next-gen update released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, there will also be updates released for the PlayStation...

With only 18 days left in the year, is anybody surprised?

The next-gen update for Fallout 4 has been pushed to an unspecified date in 2024. Bethesda made this official announcement just earlier today through Twitter. Of course, with there just being about 18 days left in 2023, the official announcement should not come as any surprised to anybody.

The next-gen update for Fallout 4 was announced back in 2022. At that time, a release date was set for some point in 2023....

Yep, that's a vault.

The birthday celebrations for the Fallout franchise continued today. This time, the latest is from Amazon. We've seen a lot of love this month for the games and some of the extended media, but today we were finally treated to the first ever look at the Fallout TV show that Amazon is helping to develop alongside Bethesda.

Well, it's not much. I'll tell you that right now. Amazon offered just a single screenshot from their upcoming Fallout TV show. It...

Except sales, giveaways, special quests, and even a free copy of Fallout 76.

While a new Fallout game is still probably years and years away from release, that hasn't stopped Bethesda from celebrating the franchise's 25th anniversary in style. Throughout the month of October Bethesda will have a bunch of deals, offers, giveaways, and events that celebrate 25 years of post-apocalyptic goodness.

Each week, Bethesda will have something new to celebrate Fallout. Some of the...

This community created mod rivals some DLC in size and scope.

Last year, a community made mod for Fallout 4 was revealed to the world. It is called Fallout London and is a mod that would looks to rival the size of many official expansions. It brings the post-apocalypse to England in the year 2237.

We haven't seen nor heard much about this mod for about a year now. Today, the team released over 18 minutes of gameplay footage, which can be found below. The footage includes...

To celebrate Bombs Drop Day.

Get ready to celebrate the day in which the bombs dropped in the Fallout universe, October 23, which is otherwise known as Bombs Drop Day. Bethesda is celebrating this uh "holiday" by offering some special limited-time events both inside Fallout 76 and outside of the game.

First off, Bethesda is offering a free play week from October 20 through October 26. Players will be able to hop into Fallout 76 and play the full game for free....
