Not everyone was entirely happy with last week’s Fallout 4 update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X (and PC), with PlayStation users noting that those who got the game with PS Plus Essential or PS Plus Collection didn’t get the update, while PC users had major issues with mods and other issues.
Xbox users, however, seemed much happier, but something strange is happening there as well. Bethesda has now clarified a big difference in the Xbox version via X. It turns out that even those running the Quality Mode option for the Xbox Series X will be able to run the game at 60 frames per second, compared to 30 frames per second for the PlayStation 5 (40 if you run 120Hz).
The reason is that this version “actually targeting 4K 60 FPS in all modes”. As for what makes it different from Performance Mode on Xbox Series X, Bethesda writes that this mode “is more aggressive in lowering settings to maintain this goal”. However, people don’t seem to think there’s much of a difference judging by the comments (with several stating that they have issues with the 1440p resolution).
It certainly feels like Bethesda rushed the update out to ride the popularity of the TV series, but Quality Mode running at too high a frame rate seems to be one of the minor issues, don’t you think?
