On Thursday, Bethesda released its so-called next-generation upgrades for Fallout 4, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. The overhauled version of the game is free for anyone who already owns the game, but those who got Fallout 4 via PlayStation Plus have been faced with demands for payment.
On social media, fans have flocked to share their displeasure. Many feel cheated because Bethesda never made it clear in advance that the upgrade would not be free for those who, for example, downloaded the game when it was free via PlayStation Plus or as part of the PlayStation Plus Collection.
In addition, the offer period for Fallout – which was long available in connection with the launch of the TV series – is now over. Fallout 4 thus again costs NOK 219 via the PlayStation store.
The Fallout 4 upgrade is free for those who own the game on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

– We’ve seen some confusion regarding the free Fallout 4 upgrade for PlayStation Plus Extra members. Fallout 4’s next-gen update will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra members via the PlayStation Game Catalog. We appreciate your patience while our teams work on this.
While that’s good news for PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, it’s unclear what happens to those on PlayStation Plus Essential. When asked about the case, Bethesda’s user support team only says that it has no information about what is happening.
