Ahead of its release next week, Bethesda has revealed the full list of changes that will be coming to Fallout 4 for its Anniversary Edition update. With Fallout 4 turning 10 years old in 2025, Bethesda is opting to reinvigorate the game with a handful of new features. The biggest addition on this front is set to be the arrival of Creations, which includes fan-made mods that can be accessed in a more streamlined manner. While Creations is the marquee feature heading to Fallout 4, though, it’s not the only one by any means.

Outlined in a new post on Steam, Bethesda shared with fans everything that will be rolling out to Fallout 4 next week on November 10th. Beyond the aforementioned arrival of the Creations menu, Bethesda has made some slight gameplay improvements, specifically to NPCs and VATS. Fallout 4 will also be getting additional fixes related to game crashing, with others being specific to PC and include resolutions for ultrawide monitor setups.
Further down the road, Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition will also be coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Rather than this release taking place next week, though, Bethesda will be bringing Fallout 4 to Switch 2 at some point in 2026. At the time of this writing, we have yet to see FO4 running on the Nintendo console, but footage should be coming about in the months ahead.
Until then, to get a look at all of these upcoming additions to Fallout 4 for yourself, you can view the full patch notes attached below.
