There wasn't anything too exciting included in Fallout 4's latest PlayStation 4 patch, but we're pleasantly surprised to hear that the update seems to have improved the graphical quality of the title on Sony's console.
According to our pals over at Digital Foundry, who have run multiple tests on the game, Bethesda's blockbuster now loads environmental details better than before. In other words, stuff like grass, building textures, and other bits and pieces should pop into view at longer distances, essentially making the post-apocalyptic release look prettier in general.
The publication's report states that "it's a great addition to the game that pulls it closer to the look of PC's higher 'fade' settings," and the best part is that the increased visual fidelity doesn't come at a price. Apparently, the game runs just as smoothly as it did before the patch, although it's worth mentioning that Digital Foundry claim that there are some slight frame rate drops when overlooking Diamond City - a minor issue that wasn't present before.
In any case, we're totally on board with updates that improve how a title looks and doesn't come with any significant negatives, so props to Bethesda for seemingly delivering a rather good patch.

It sure looks better and I haven't noticed yet new critical area for the frame rate. As before, only some slow down when there are vertibirds over Boston central.
I haven't had any noticeable performance issues while playing Fallout 4. I have discovered over 200 locations too. I know that some people have had quite a few issues like frame rate dips and the usual Bethesda glitches and bugs. I guess I have just been lucky.
It's been fairly flawless for me. Have taken a break from it of late since the arrival of HellDivers, but will be back in the wastelands soon.
I shall return to the wasteland tonight, gonna bludgeon me some muties.
I've been getting poor frame rates my entire run, especially while in Boston proper. Honestly though, it's a Fallout game so to me it's just kind of part of the scenery.
I played Fallout 4 today and it crashed on me.
