Fallout 4's Next-Gen Update Isn't Free for PS Plus Subscribers - IGN Daily Fix
In today's Daily Fix:
Fallout 4's much-anticipated next-gen (or rather, current-gen) update went live today, and though it was touted as a free upgrade, some users won't be able to download it without handing over some bottle caps. It seems like PlayStation 4 and 5 owners who downloaded the game when it was free via PS Plus can't download the update unless they pay for the game. Bethesda did mention that the upgrade was free to those who purchased the game, either physically or digitally, and technically PS Plus subscribers didn't outright pay for their copies. However, Game Pass subscribers aren't having the same issues, but that's likely because Microsoft owns Bethesda now, and Bethesda games are just included with Game Pass subscriptions. In other Fallout news, be wary of any Fallout: New Vegas advice on social media. Veteran players are having a little fun with newbies to the Wasteland by pointing them to spots in the world that new players just should not go to unless they're pretty high level. And finally, Stellar Blade's launch is almost upon us, and you can expect a New Game+ mode on day one.
Update: 04/25 3:41pm ET: A Bethesda Softworks Community Manager posted on the official Bethesda Discord server that the company is still working to resolve the issue for PS Plus owners unable to access the free next-gen update.
Correction- Sony responded and said they are working on fixing this complaint.
where? on twitter?
where did they post that at?
As did Bethesda themselves, said the update is absolutely included with ps subs and asked for,patience
KZheadr Open World Games. His video released today.
Yea. They posted it in their discord that it was an error and they’re fixing it
Sony and bethesda are working on the issue the PS5 update WILL BE FREE soon for people who have the ps plus version.
Dam well that’s £15.99 down the drain
Ps plus extra not essential
SONY AND MICROSOFT....funny how you say Bethesda 😆 🤣 😂
@@LUKASZ971 no it's for essential too
@@chrisabraham3830 no it's still bethesda
In Fallout 3 on low difficulty, deathclaws were pretty easy. In New Vegas, they were deadly on every difficulty.
They're not as bad once you level up a bit and get better gear and weapons. Now, the alpha male and mother, those are awful.
It wouldn't be a Bethesda release if it didn't come with a bug.
It’s fixed. Fallout 4 “update” is working
No it's not "fixed".
Nope.
It’s not
That something a synth would say boys get them
@@Indirect_Thunder😂😂😂😂
Didn't the ps plus issue also happen with final fantasy 7 and upgrading to the ps5 version
Yeah it's happened to a few games
Yeah. Eventually Square got it fixed in like a day
Which year/month was Fallout 4 part of PS Plus ?
Some time in November around PS5’s first year before the PS+ subscription service was separated into three different tiers, it seems those of us that got the game free through the “essential collection” will not get the update unless we upgrade our subscription tier from Essential to either Extra or Premium, this isn’t confirmed just what me and many others have landed on based on how poorly this whole thing is being handled by both Sony and Bethesda Edit: As of April 29th it seems owners of the “collection” version of the game now have the update as well.
it was added to the ps+ collection when the ps5 launched in november 2020.
It might be a bug, but with Bethesda being owned by Microsoft, you'd almost think it's intentional, lol.
pony
Why are we celebrating ng+ being available as something special? That was the norm just a few years back
Oh that's simple, it's available on Day 1 instead of Day 69.
1:25 Sony themself said even before you posted this video that they know it's a bug on their end, and they are working on it. As of a few hours ago, some PS+ users in Europe via the Fallout subreddit are saying they can download it just fine on their PS5 via PS+. So they seem to slowly be fixing it... whatever it was.
Yeah it is, fine for me.. just manually check for update and it works
Base edition works, but it wants me to purchase GOTY again, hope that's fixed soon.
Is a bug that they said was getting fixed smh
Not for PS+ essential people who got it through the PS+ collection back in 2020
What a clickbaity title
Still a bug Bethesda...
Its not bugged on Xbox S\X 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So did the update actually improve the graphics for ps5?
Yes but it still looks like a game from 2008
It's in 4K now, if that's what you mean. If you want updated textures, lighting, and character models that actually reflect modern day technology, then no. This is a Bethesda game. It was never gonna have those things lol
@@mattwiper your wrong 😂😂😂😂😂😂 looks amazing hater
@darstro12 ,It is Native 4K and 60fps
@@mattwipercan't be both
As of now the update was fixed so ps plus version owners can now play download it.
no its not at least for essential subs
@@sly2792004 then something is wrong with your account mate cause I'm using the ps plus version myself and it's working just fine, should probably mention that despite it being called an update you literally have to go to the ps plus catalog screen and actually download the PS5 version.
@@syncdomI checked mine to its only for PS extra
@@blamewhale3707i have extra and it's still not
@@konsama9382same problem.
Version 1.36 downloaded for me.
So no Next gen update for PC / Steam?
No.
@@Kagetora- Aww 😔
It’s currently 4:18 on the west coast and it’s fixed for me currently downloading the ps5 standard edition on my ps5 with just ps plus on my account without owning it. 🎉
This seems to only be true if you have a PS+ Extra subscription or Premium and not for those who got the game “free” when it was was part of the “essential collection” before the subscription service was separated into three tiers Edit: As of April 29th it seems as though even the “collection” version of the game now has the updated as well.
They fixed it. Now you can upgrade the PS+ Collection version to PS5 version even just with Essential Sub 😏
Mine updated dont know if it is ps5 version
PS4 versions have an update that came out today as well. The PS5 version isnt an update you have to download its own version of the game.
Does it say PS5?
It didn't give me this problem.
I'm downloading the PS5 version now. It seems to be working.
Really?
Are u sure its the ps plus one
wrong
@@glizzy9638 he's not telling the truth 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kingkobrasgaming1241free with disc version
Instead of making a new game, Bethesda milks the same old games
Someone upset about their ps plus lol
This is true look at how many times they rereleased Skyrim
They said they’re fixing it
Didn’t they just released a game called Starfield?
Capitalism kills creativity.
It's fixed now
Those people don't actually own the game they are subscribed to it. Makes sense they didn't get the update
Just did the update on xbox one and now the game wont even load. Crashes within 10 seconds
xbox one 😂😂😂😂😂😂 not the xbox x
@@kingkobrasgaming1241 your comment makes zero sense….
@@callsignmohas5190 you have that old xbox one 😂😂😂😂😂😂get xbox one x is that better
Anyone get the fix for ps plus yet?
nope. still tries to charge me $19.99
Oh im getting stellar blade physically, have trust issues ever since the skullgirls incident
Cool!
Im playing the update and it was for free. It was just a small bug for some reason
But did you download it on PS Plus? You didn't say..
yea right you still playing the old version 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@kingkobrasgaming1241 Yes, they could be doing that; because there is two kinds of update on the Playstation. One is a standard update for the PS4, and the other is the next gen update to make it into the PS5 version, which you have to select separately.
“Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies”
Whats taking them so long to make it free for ps plus users if they said they going to
Finaly working for me! Living in Norway. Currently downloading the ps5 standard edition on my ps5 . Have ps premium on my account without owning it.
all my 200 mods gone due to this update smh.. time to play fallout next year when all my mods are patched
You can actually download it if you go to product and check versions.
Not the PS5 version.
@@nujevad28well I’m downloading it
@@juanvsreviews Not for the PS+ collection version
Stop just saying words ffs
Can anybody else agree, that gaming this year has been one of the weirdest yet interesting gaming of the years💀😅
Mine was free?
After seeing a MASSIVE sales bump in their 10 year old games, that theyre lucky the show created for them. Theyve decided to once again nickle and dime their fanbase like GREEDY opporunistic pigs. With Fallout 5 a decade off.... stay classy bethesda
Yea kinda pissed me off last night
This isn’t ok but new ng+ being paywalled by a Sony exclusive is? Granted they seem to be fixing it but still the reporting seems biased.
Which game is that?
Build Back Better they say.
@@Matthew_Satisfactionlast of us
They must of fixed it,im downloading it now.
_not_ having NG+ on disc is bonkers
really you upset about that. 🤣
button right now it's fixed and now we can get free PS5 version for the PlayStation Plus
its on gamepass
Bethesda tweeted that it’s just a bug and “our patients is appreciated”
Bethesda and bugs. Name a better combo
Patience
Can’t even do your research…
It’s fixed
The Vault boy expression best describes this whole Problem
Still bugs are not fixed, bethesda and bugs are synonyms
Boys & girls, that's why physical disc are better than Digital 😂 . You have the 'key' not a 'I say so' 😭
So the PlayStation plus collection won’t get the “free” update… so then it’s not a free update if you have to buy the game… SCAM!!!!
Still note working on ps plus😢
Its free for ps plus "EXTRA" users. Had to upgrade tiers to access it.
It’s coming they are working on it 🙌🏾 it will be soon
next year 😂😂😂😂😂😂
still looking for what??
Welcome back.
If not oh well, busy playing Stellar Blade anyways 😂
fallout 4 is better thats why playstation players want the new update pony stellar blade 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍 stellar got her groove back 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ign rated it 7 lol
@@kingkobrasgaming1241damn you’re sad
how little research went into this incorrectly negative video.
Free on ps5 with ps+
This isn't a bug for Fallout 4 "next-gen" not being available for people who got the game through PS+ since it's not the first game that does this. Also keep in mind PS+ users DO NOT OWN these ganes.
That's strange as Bethesda said it was a bug, you must be right though.
It was a bug and it's been fixed. Don't say things you don't know to be true with so much confidence.
you can delete this comment now lol it didnt age well
It's been fixed? @@shane2863
Gamepass worked out and you don't own them games either. So there's that.
Mine was free

Well obviously since you didn't actually buy the game you were just able to play it with the subscription plus fallout has been cheap for years if you weren't going to buy at this point you never will
It's available now
Sup!

its like only 5 bucks to buy
$20 on playstation store. $5 yesterday.

tell that to sony 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get the disc version instead 😅😅😅😅😅
If isn't Free Update Instead named Fallout 4 Next Gen Update they should name Fallout 4 Remastered to know all the people to buy a new one for next gen fallout.
Not even a remaster, just a performance boost. Everything is the same, but runs at 60fps.

This news is WRONG.. It's an error, and it's already been fixed. IGN, fix your video description, or simply remove this video. ALSO, it's not a "MAJOR UPDATE!" It's a framerate increase. Saying that is going to make people expect improved lighting and textures, improved graphical assets, volumetric weather effects, Ray Tracing, HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc.. No. It's just a frame rate increase. So, it's closer to the old PC release.
Funny was free for me
Meh if it's true then just don't buy the game, it's not like Bethesda deserves it anyhow with their lazy next gen releases from games extremely old over and over and over again.
