Bethesda is preparing to release enhanced versions of Fallout 76 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S this summer, following a public playtest later this month. These new console editions aim for a 60fps framerate, incorporating improved shadows and draw distances, with support for VRR across PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S.
Resolution details vary significantly between platforms. While base PS4 and Xbox One versions will maintain 1080p, the PS5 and PS4 Pro will be capped at 1440p. In contrast, the Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, and PS5 Pro will support 4K resolution.
The game also recently received an update introducing 'infestations,' dynamic events featuring challenging enemy swarms. Players who successfully clear these areas and defeat elite bosses can earn valuable 4-star legendary weapons or armor.
Upcoming seasonal content includes the introduction of new fish species in late June, offering players a different activity to engage in. The timing of these current-gen releases coincides with the franchise's recent success on television, potentially boosting player engagement.
