Bethesda has released the patch notes for Fallout 76's next update, which is set to be deployed next week, on the 4th December. It brings extra storage space and tweaks some game balancing. With the patch installed, high level opponents will reward less XP, boss loot should now drop properly, and automatic weapon damage has been increased.
Fair enough, but there's no mention of specific performance improvements for the PlayStation 4 version of the release. It's no secret that the game runs incredibly poorly on Sony's system, so it's a bit concerning that this next patch supposedly doesn't do anything to improve the often dismal frame rate or fix the ridiculous amount of stuttering. The latter issue was meant to be fixed via the title's previous patch, by the way.
It's looking like PS4 players have no choice but to wait and see whether the next, next update has something specific for them. Until then, let us know if you're still playing Fallout 76 in the comments section below.

I think they are removing all the canvas bags in the game and replacing them with nylon plastic ones...
@Rudy_Manchego Haha niceee! I read that the other day.. last thing Bethesda needs right now haha.
Fallout 76 was a prototype and too expensive to make properly
We arent planning on doing anything about it
One of the best comments to baggate ive seen lol
@Rudy_Manchego Is that how they are making a bigger inventory? But the reality is the bag has ripped and your leaving a trail of crafting items in your wake
Do you remember the guy whit the "godmode bug"? Maybe Bethesda added a Nylon Bag in the game so he can try to finally put the character out of his misery in the cheapest way...
@andreoni79 Maybe the whole game should use the bag for that purpose on itself. All kidding aside, I do hope it gets better for the people who have bought it.
@andreoni79 i wonder if he ever found a way to get that fixed. By most accounts the game is boring so having god mode must make it intolerable
Honestly the performance hasn’t been too terrible (except when my internet connection gets slow then all sorts of craziness happens). But maybe I’m just used to Bethesda games running like crap on my PS3 idk.
@andreoni79 He's the chosen one.
Still playing and liking this. Performance has not been horrible but the glitches are insane at times. And horrendous loading times.
@Danloaded Yeah but then just sort of float there!
@KleebanKliban I know, it is a pretty small thing but if the game had been doing well it prob wouldn’t have been a thing!
My Black Friday copy (£26 free p&p) finally arrived today. 5 hour download of V 1.02 weighing in at 52gb finished after 5 hour download. Now taking ages to install. Having said that, I'm very curious to see how it plays. Loved Fallout 4 for all its faults unashamedly, so for £26 I'm willing to take a punt.
@ShogunRok just curious, in the article your referring to how bad it runs on ps4. Does it run better on xbox or pc?
@ellsworth004 Performance is pretty bad across all platforms based on what I've seen and heard, but I only have experience with the PS4 version. Not sure if PS4 is deemed the "worst" or not, although I'd be surprised if Xbox and PC are somehow worse.
Funny that Sony lets this garbage trough the Quality Control.
Or
not suprised that they are leaving ps4 a bit in the dust,considering they where always petty about sony.
but still,they would probably blame sony for the lack of improvements on the ps4 version.cause that's what they do.
@ShogunRok "Fortunately it's only 3GB"
Only 83 times bigger than the same update for the PC version.
6 hours clocked of gameplay....
Really enjoying it. One brief moment of jerkyness whilst exploring a caravan during a quest, other than that, no lag, no framerate drop, no crashes, no problems. Would be good if there where NPC interactions, but it's not like there isn't anything to do or locations to explore. Personal opinion I suppose. Although I do appreciate this is my opinion of a game that I paid £26 for after patches.
