Bethesda has revealed their plans for releasing updates for Fallout 4 with PC players receiving the new patches first. PC players will be able to opt in as beta testers for each new patch on Steam, allowing Bethesda to ensure each patch is stable before pushing it to all PC and console players. Part of the fun of any Bethesda RPG is the various bugs and glitches that occur, as long as they aren’t game-breaking.
“It’s true that the freedom our games offer you can lead to unintentional consequences that are sometimes bad, when the game combines too many unexpected elements at once.” said Bethesda in a thank-you post on their site. “Given the scale and complexity of the systems at work, especially when allowing you to build your own settlements, we’re happy that Fallout 4 is our most robust and solid release ever, and we’d like to thank our amazing QA staff who worked as hard as anyone to break the game so we could fix it during development. But a hundred testers will never replicate the many millions playing the game now, and we’re hard at work addressing the top issues.”
The studio also noted that they plan to release smaller and more frequent updates rather than the mammoth ones they employed with Skyrim.
Fallout 4 is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
