Bethesda recently provided clarity on the Fallout 4 next-gen update's performance on the Xbox Series X, revealing differences from the patch notes. The update for Fallout 4 on Xbox Series X aims for 60 FPS in both Quality and Performance modes, contrary to the initially stated 30 FPS target for Quality mode. This change offers players a smoother experience on Microsoft's powerful console.

Fallout 4 Targets 60 FPS in All Modes on Xbox Series X

The latest update's tweak ensures that players on the Xbox Series X get consistent 60 FPS, regardless of the graphics mode chosen. Bethesda confirmed this adjustment post the update release, clarifying how the game modifies graphic settings more aggressively in Performance mode to achieve the desired frame rate. This move dismisses previous player concerns about the Quality mode's functionality on the Xbox Series X.

The Fallout 4 community has noticed significant improvements in the game's performance on the Xbox Series X following the update, despite encountering some new issues, primarily affecting PC users. While some PC mods broke after the update, Bethesda's efforts to minimize disruptions weren't entirely successful. For instance, Steam Deck users faced challenges due to the removal of the game's launcher without an alternative access method for certain settings.
