Achi news desk-
Those who have Fallout 4 via PlayStation Plus don’t seem to be able to download the next gen update for free.
Reports indicate that Fallout 4’s next-gen update (check out the patch notes here) is only free for those who own the post-apocalyptic adventure outright, rather than through the PS subscription service Plus. It is unclear if this is intentional or a bug. IGN has asked Bethesda for comment.
This does not appear to be the case on Xbox Game Pass, where the native Xbox Series X and S version of Fallout 4 is available to subscribers. Fallout developer Bethesda, through its parent company ZeniMax, is owned by Xbox maker Microsoft.
IGN has verified that PS Plus subscribers will see the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4 receive a major update (last-gen versions of the game are also being updated today, with new content and some bug fixes), it appears that there is no any way to access the native PS5 version without purchasing it at the time of publishing this article.
A representative from Bethesda posted on the company’s Discord to address the confusion, saying: “The PS5 Upgrade should be available to you if you OWN Fallout 4 on the PSN account. Still looking into this for the PS+ users!”
PS Plus subscribers have expressed disappointment over the situation, and are criticizing Bethesda for not highlighting this problem before the long-awaited launch of Fallout 4’s next-gen update, and after a sales period where Fallout 4 was reduced to just $5.
@Cwympo mas I’m confused. I already own Fallout 4, which was free through PS Plus years ago. But the new version is not allowed? He asks for payment pic.twitter.com/jKp8PIO7NU

The next gen update includes native applications for the consoles, Performance mode and Quality mode settings, as well as stability improvements and fixes. This means that the game will be playable up to 60 frames per second and with a higher resolution.
Elsewhere, Fallout 4 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is also getting a free update with stability improvements, and login and quest fixes. And finally, the free Fallout 4 update for PC adds widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, as well as fixes to Creation Kit and a variety of quest updates.
Players with PC versions of Fallout 4 on Steam, the Microsoft Store, and GOG will receive stability, mod, and bug fixes. Fallout 4 will also be sold on the Epic Games Store, and will be verified by Steam Deck.
