In today’s Daily Fix:
Fallout 4’s much-anticipated next-gen (or rather, current-gen) update went live today, and though it was touted as a free upgrade, some users won’t be able to download it without handing over some bottle caps. It seems like PlayStation 4 and 5 owners who downloaded the game when it was free via PS Plus can’t download the update unless they pay for the game. Bethesda did mention that the upgrade was free to those who purchased the game, either physically or digitally, and technically PS Plus subscribers didn’t outright pay for their copies. However, Game Pass subscribers aren’t having the same issues, but that’s likely because Microsoft owns Bethesda now, and Bethesda games are just included with Game Pass subscriptions. In other Fallout news, be wary of any Fallout: New Vegas advice on social media. Veteran players are having a little fun with newbies to the Wasteland by pointing them to spots in the world that new players just should not go to unless they’re pretty high level. And finally, Stellar Blade’s launch is almost upon us, and you can expect a New Game+ mode on day one.
Update: 04/25 3:41pm ET: A Bethesda Softworks Community Manager posted on the official Bethesda Discord server that the company is still working to resolve the issue for PS Plus owners unable to access the free next-gen update.
