Fallout 4: Bethesda Has No Plans For 60fps Patch On PS4 And Xbox One

Why would you even expect something like this?

Fallout 4‘s low frame rate on consoles can be a sticking point for a lot of people- especially someone like me, who is susceptible to motion sickness on first person games with low FoVs and FPSs. So one would hope that Bethesda would maybe look into offering an option to bump up the framerate of Fallout 4 on the console versions- maybe as a PS4 Pro enhancement?

However, speaking on Twitter, Bethesda’s VP Pete Hines seems to have shot down any idea of a 60fps patch for the game. In no uncertain terms, he makes it clear that no such patch is coming. I suppose there is some sense to what he is saying- Bethesda have been very clear that they are done with Fallout 4 ever since Nuka World, so I can’t see why they would go back to the game now.

But it’s a bummer- it would have been an easy PS4 Pro enhancement to offer, as an instance. I’d play Fallout 4 (even) more if the framerate didn’t make me want to throw up every time.
