Fallout 4 has just received its long-awaited PS5 upgrade amidst the fervour conjured up by the Amazon Prime TV show. We’ve endured a little radiation to check out whether this native PS5 port has been worth the wait, and the results are mixed depending on who you ask.

You can check out our side-by-side comparison with some 4K footage over on the Push Square YouTube channel. We’d argue this is one of those “it’s better when you actually play it” upgrades, since movement and especially first-person gunplay feel far improved thanks to the smooth 60 frames-per-second in performance mode. However, if you’re looking for a massive graphical overhaul, then this ain’t it.

Admittedly, we do think the update looks sharper, although you’d be doing a fair amount of pixel-peeping if you were to hold two images up side-by-side. Regardless, it gives us more reason to jump back into Bethesda’s 2015 RPG, and you can expect our redux review to drop in the coming days.


Do you think Fallout 4 looks any better thanks to the PS5 upgrade? Let us know in the comments below.
