Fallout 4 Gets New Update to Coincide With Season 2 of TV Show Releasing

Bethesda has today released a new update for Fallout 4 to coincide with Season 2 of the Fallout TV show returning on Prime Video. As a way of celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fallout 4, Bethesda let loose an “Anniversary Edition” version of the game back in November. Unfortunately, this update more or less broke Fallout 4 and introduced a variety of new problems to the experience. Now, Bethesda is trying to clean up these issues and has let loose another patch to help improve the game for players.

Downloadable now on PC, the December 2025 update for Fallout 4 comes with some pretty important fixes. Bethesda has specifically resolved some bugs tied to save data that were giving many players fits since the arrival of Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition. Beyond this, improvements have also been made to the game’s UI and overall stability. While this update is now on PC, those on consoles will have to wait until 2026 for this patch to go live.

As mentioned, today happens to also be the day that Fallout Season 2 is premiering on Prime Video. While the crossover of this new update with the Fallout TV show might not have been intentional, it means that those who want to return to Fallout 4 in the wake of checking out Season 2 should find that the game is better than before. Hopefully, more updates of this type continue to roll out in the weeks and months ahead.

To get a look at everything done with this new Fallout 4 update today, the full patch notes can be found below.
