Fallout 4 is finally getting free Xbox Series X and PS5 upgrades

Bethesda has confirmed that the current-gen update for Fallout 4 will finally release on April 25.

That’s good timing, as a Fallout TV show just released on Amazon Prime this month to positive buzz. Fallout 4 came out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox One in 2015, and this definitely looks like it will be the most substantial update the game has received since its last expansion was released.

After the update drops later this month, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S native versions of Fallout 4 will exist. Those versions of the game will let players choose between performance and quality mode settings to improve their resolution and frame rate. The bug fixes that this patch brings will also apply to the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Fallout 4.

The PC port will also get an update on April 25 that will make Fallout 4 Steam Deck verified, add widescreen and ultra-widescreen support, and address other bug fixes. All versions of the game will get new free Creation Club mod content, including the Makeshift Weapon Pack, Halloween Workshop decorations, and the Enclave Remnant questline that brings enclave armor and weapon skills, the Tesla Canon and Heavy Incinerator weapons, and Hellfire and X-02 Power Armor to Fallout 4.

The Fallout 4 update comes to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on April 25. It will also become available on the Epic Games Store for the first time that day. You probably won’t need to pay for the game to experience these updates either, as Fallout 4 is included in both the Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra game catalogs right now.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Tested: Intel has finally arrived in handheld gaming
Intel's new handheld chip brings serious performance without treating the battery like an afterthought.
MSI Claw Intel Arc G3 Extreme Logo 2

I first caught a glimpse of Intel's new handheld silicon at Computex 2026, where I saw early hardware powered by it, including the MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ and Acer Predator Atlas 8. But seeing a chip run a demo on a show floor and actually pushing it through real-world workloads are two very different things. When MSI eventually sent me the production Claw for a spin, I finally got that opportunity. I only had the device for a short time, but that brief window was enough to make one thing clear: Intel's Arc G3 Extreme is a seriously capable handheld gaming platform.

Logitech’s PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE HITS differently — and it made me rethink clicking
Turns out, the humble left click had a lot more room to evolve than I thought.
Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE Design 1

Between reviewing tech for a living and spending most of my day in front of a screen, free time is a luxury. Yet almost every evening, I somehow find myself queueing up for two or three ranked Valorant games. My peak rank is Ascendant 1, and while I'm far from going pro, competitive FPS titles are where I put hundreds of hours every year.

For the longest time, my trusty Logitech G502 X Plus LIGHTSPEED was always waiting on my desk. It wasn't the lightest mouse around, but it felt dependable. I'd flirt with lightweight esports mice now and then, only to come crawling back a few days later. Most of them either felt too hollow, too small, or simply lacked the reassuring heft I had grown accustomed to. Then the Logitech PRO X2 SUPERSTRIKE showed up, and for the first time, my G502 has been gathering dust.

Minecraft is coming to Switch 2, and even the Creepers are getting prettier
Nintendo's Switch 2 is getting one of the biggest video games of all time.
Minecraft

Minecraft has spent years proving that blocks can run on practically anything with a screen. On October 27, it will finally move into a home built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mojang has confirmed that the native Switch 2 version of Minecraft will launch with Vibrant Visuals enabled by default, using the newer console’s additional power to spruce up its famously square Overworld. Existing Nintendo Switch owners will also receive a digital upgrade path, though Mojang says pricing and other details will arrive later.
