Well, I just installed Fallout 4 on gaming computer, and I’ll be redownloading it on my Xbox Series X in a bit. With the Fallout TV series (which has been renewed for a second season) and now this update, I’ve got uranium fever, that’s for sure. Based on theresurgence the series has seen across all games, I’m definitely not alone.
While it’s taken a long time for this update to arrive, I’m glad it’s finally here. A particular highlight for me is the 40 FPS mode for 120hz TVs. That’s a great way of making a game smoother to play without sacrificing any visual fidelity. We’ve seen it across a number of PlayStation first-party games, but it hasn’t been a focus for Xbox teams. Hopefully, this support means we can see that mode added toStarfieldin a future update.
