Despite Bethesda’s announcement about updating Fallout 4 for Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5 in October 2022, there have been no subsequent updates on the game’s development. The only information we have is from Pete Hines, who mentioned it while interacting with a fan on X (formerly Twitter) after he announced his retirement from Bethesda.

I did try getting an update before I left. Nothing concrete enough I could share.

Bethesda unexpectedly tweeted today, expressing appreciation for players’ patience during the development of the Fallout 4 next-gen update and mentioned the need for some extra time and conveyed their excitement about returning to the Commonwealth in 2024.

Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the Fallout 4 next-gen update. We know you’re excited, and so are we! But we need a bit more time and look forward to an exciting return to the Commonwealth in 2024.

There has been speculation that Bethesda plans to release the remastered version alongside the new Fallout series coming to Amazon Prime Video on April 12th, 2024. Either way, we’ll know soon enough and hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer.
