Bethesda has smartly guessed that with the arrival of the new Fallout series from Amazon, folks are going get curious about all the Fallout games. In addition to making Fallout 3 and Fallout 76 available on Amazon Luna and updating Fallout Shelter to include a bunch of characters from the show, Bethesda has announced that Fallout 4 will get a next-gen update.

Fallout 4 will get performance and quality mode settings on the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S, while PC players get wide and ultra-widescreen support, along with quest updates and Steam Deck verification. The Epic Games Store is also adding the game to its storefront. There’s a new Enclave questline coming with the update, complete with new weapons and armor. Best yet, it’s all free. Check out the details here.

Though you can binge all eight episodes of Fallout right now, you’ll have to wait until April 25th for the Fallout 4’s next-gen update.
