Xbox Series X error makes one of 2024's biggest games unplayable

Fallout 4 fans have fallen out with Bethesda

One of the biggest video games of 2024 is Bethesda’s Fallout 4 which is quite incredible because the post-apocalyptic RPG was released in 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

After what felt like a lifetime, Bethesda finally released the free Fallout 4 next-gen update last week for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and when you throw in Amazon Studios’ live-action adaptation (which has already been renewed for season two), the Fallout series is as hot as it's been for a long time.

Check out the Fallout 4 trailer below!

As with the nature of most new-gen updates, they usually give the player the choice of playing a video game in performance or quality mode. In the case of Bethesda’s Fallout 4, quality mode gives the visuals a boost while performing at 30 frames per second with its performance mode offering up to 60fps at the expense of the visuals taking a slight hit.

Yet, as reported by Dexerto, some Fallout 4 players on Xbox Series X have been reporting that the Fallout 4 quality mode isn't working as intended. Players have been reporting that when quality mode has been selected, it’s stuck on performance mode instead, meaning that Fallout 4 isn't playable as intended until there’s a fix.

While many would likely select performance mode for Fallout 4, it would at least be nice to see how good the beloved RPG will look with enhanced visuals on new-gen consoles. However, things are even worse for Fallout 4 gamers on PlayStation right now.

Fallout 4 is included in PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, meaning that the Bethesda title is playable at no extra cost to subscribers or at least, it should be. PS Plus subscribers have been reporting that when they attempt to play Fallout 4, they’re being asked to pay for the full game.

So for PlayStation Plus subscribers, Fallout 4 can be considered as unplayable unless they pay for the game outright which of course, defies the point of being a PS Plus subscriber. Hopefully, Bethesda will fix both issues for Xbox and PlayStation gamers soon.

Fallout 4 is out now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. It’s also available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers at no extra cost.
