Gamescom 2016 Prey on PS4 Will Mug You Off
Coffee break
Bethesda's released a short snippet of sci-fi horror Prey's gameplay, demonstrating how you can assume the shape of well… Office mugs in order to navigate the alien infested space station Talos I. We're not entirely sure why the publisher's opting to demo this reboot in drips and drabs, but we do reckon that the BioShock-inspired...
News Massive Elder Scrolls Online PS4 Patch Promises Better Performance
Better clean up that hard drive
With The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited's next downloadable content pack just around the corner, it's no surprise that the game's getting another huge patch on PlayStation 4. Naturally, the update adds the aforementioned DLC pack to the mix, but you'll either need to buy the add-on or have an active ESO Plus...
Feature 10 Rad Things Fallout 4: Nuka World's Trailer Tells Us
Raiders know how to party
There's a lot riding on Nuka World, Fallout 4's final piece of downloadable content. Boasting a whole new area to explore, it's only the game's second expansion in the traditional sense of the word, with the add-on priced at around $20 if you don't own the title's season pass. Bethesda has crafted plenty of great...
News Fallout 4: Nuka World Gets a Release Date and a Cheery Theme Park Trailer
Drink up
Fallout 4's final slice of downloadable content, Nuka World, is launching on PlayStation 4 on the 30th August. Taking players to an old amusement park based on the pre-apocalypse soda, the expansion seems like it'll be on par with Far Harbor in terms of scope, adding a bunch of new quests and areas to explore. Fortunately, if you've been...
Rumour Fallout: New Orleans Logo Trademarked
Could be a fake
With mod support still yet to come to Fallout 4's PS4 edition, a new game in the series is probably on the bottom of many people's wishlists. Yet that could be what Bethesda is planning, as a logo for Fallout: New Orleans (discovered by NeoGAF user ekim) has been trademarked in Europe, leading many people to believe that this could...
News The Elder Scrolls VI Won't Be Revealed Years in Advance
When it's ready, you'll know about it
The Elder Scrolls VI will be revealed when it's ready to release, Bethesda's Pete Hines has told PC Gamer. "You're not going to be hearing first details on [Elder Scrolls VI] years before the game comes out, absolutely not," Hines insists. Of course, this is nothing new for the studio. When head honcho Todd...
News Here's Your First Look at PS4 Reboot Prey
Arkane Studios' latest steps out
Pray tell us more about your PlayStation 4 reboot Prey, Bethesda. Oh, you're going to drop a gameplay trailer out of nowhere? Well, if you insist. As you can see from the embedded video, Arkane Studios' latest very much falls under the psychological sci-fi shooter umbrella – with BioShock powers to boot. It's set...
News DOOM, Fallout 4 Lead Big Bethesda PSN Sale in North America
Fallout 4's season pass is going cheaper, too
There's a sale on Bethesda titles and downloadable content happening right now on the North American PlayStation Store, covering the company's catalogue on both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. Obvious standouts include discounts on current-gen games like DOOM, Fallout 4, Wolfenstein: The New Order, and...
News Bethesda Still Working with Sony to Get Fallout 4 Mods on PS4
It clearly isn't going smoothly
In case you hadn't noticed, mod support for Fallout 4 still hasn't arrived on Sony's system. Mods were originally intended to launch on PlayStation 4 back near the start of summer, but after hitting some sort of snag, the functionality was put on hold. However, after about a month of silence, Bethesda has revealed...
Review Fallout 4: Vault-Tec Workshop (PS4)
Digging not-so deep
Fallout 4's penultimate slice of downloadable content comes in the form of the Vault-Tec Workshop - another settlement-based add-on in which you follow a series of short, simple quests while building your own underground vault. This certainly isn't your typically large expansion - as you can probably tell from the price tag - but...
News Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop Is Finally Out on PS4 in Europe
Time to get building
Just a quick heads-up from us: Fallout 4's latest slice of downloadable content, Vault-Tec Workshop, is now available via the European PlayStation Store following a slight delay. The add-on, which lets you create your own underground vault through a series of new quests, was supposed to launch at midnight, but it never showed...
News Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop Is Missing on PS4 in Europe, Bethesda's Investigating
Going underground
As with previous additional content for Fallout 4, the Vault-Tec Workshop was supposed to launch at midnight on PlayStation 4 here in Europe, but that apparently hasn't been the case. It's now the early hours of the morning here in the UK - at the time of writing - and as far as we can tell, there's still no sign of the add-on...
News Fallout 4's Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Augments New Quests Next Week
Synth-ly the best
Fallout 4's newest add-on pack Vault-Tec Workshop will arrive next week and will bring with it new quests for you to complete. The expansion – which we'll review in due course for you – will find you responding to a distress call at Vault 88, where you'll work with the indigenous Overseer in order to conduct a series of...
News Fallout 4 Patch 1.6 Is Out Now on PS4
ExitSaves and more names for Codsworth
Fallout 4's latest update has arrived on PlayStation 4, but don't get too excited just yet. Patch 1.6 is available to download right now, but it doesn't add, tweak, or fix all that much. The biggest addition comes in the ability to create an 'ExitSave' when quitting the game, whether you're playing in survival...
News You Need to Be at Least Level 20 For Fallout 4's Next DLC to Trigger Automatically
Otherwise you have to go find it
If you're under level 20 and you're looking forward to jumping straight into Vault-Tec Workshop, Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content, then you should know that you'll have to do things the hard way. Only those at level 20 or over will automatically trigger the add-on's initial quest when they load...
Live Get a Much Better Look at Fallout 4's Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Right Here
Going underground
Other than a brief mention during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, we've got very little to go on when it comes to Fallout 4's penultimate piece of downloadable content, Vault-Tec Workshop. The add-on will supposedly allow you to build your own underground vault and watch over its inhabitants as the Overseer, but no one's quite...
News Fallout 4's Penultimate DLC Digs Up a Release Date on PS4
Down we go
Fallout 4's second last slice of downloadable content has a confirmed release date. The add-on, dubbed the Vault-Tec Workshop, will give you the ability to establish your own underground vault, and control it as the Overseer. It certainly doesn't seem to be a true expansion - especially since it's priced at only several dollars without...
News Fallout 4 Mods Suffer Another Setback on PS4
The saga continues
PlayStation 4 mod support for Fallout 4 has fallen foul of another setback today as Bethesda has revealed that the incoming mods beta on Sony's console has been delayed. Naturally, we assume this means that actual mod functionality - which was supposedly going to be in place relatively soon - will now be pushed back. It's also...
News By the Nine, Text Chat Is Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online on PS4
Lol nice1
The Elder Scrolls reveal a lot of things to those who dare to read them, but did they ever predict that Tamriel would be saved by hordes of heroes all mumbling "lol rekt" in unison? We doubt it, but that's what's going to happen when The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited's next update hits PlayStation 4. Indeed, text chat is finally...
DLC Review Making Settlements a Little More Fun with Fallout 4's Contraptions
They call me the tinkerer
Fallout 4's Contraptions add-on is the kind of downloadable content that a lot of players are going to brush aside. It's not the sort of DLC that'll drag lapsed survivors kicking and screaming back to the Commonwealth, and it's certainly not the kind of add-on that's going to breath hours upon hours of new life into...
News Fallout 4 Mods Don't Sound Too Hot on PS4
Hmmmm
So, Fallout 4 mods are supposed to be finally coming to PlayStation 4 this month, but as is all too often the case with Bethesda when it comes to working with Sony's consoles, things aren't quite as simple as they should be. Just recently, Bethesda released some notes on the incoming mod support, and was quick to outline some potential...
News Next Fallout 4 DLC Gets Another Midnight Launch on PS4
Build 'em up
Fallout 4's Contraptions downloadable content pack is out tomorrow on PlayStation 4, but Bethesda's confirmed that it'll be available to download at midnight, much like the add-ons that have come before it. To be a little more specific, it'll be up on the PlayStation Store at midnight across Europe no matter your timezone, while it'll...
News Nuka World Will Be Fallout 4's Final DLC
Going out with a bang?
During its E3 2016 press conference, Bethesda confirmed the existence of Nuka World, Fallout 4's next big expansion. The add-on, which features a whole new area, new quests, and a Raider-based plot, is due to launch in August, following the release of two smaller downloadable content packs within the next couple of months...
E3 2016 Bethesda Admits Fallout 4's Dialogue System Isn't All That Great
Let's talk
Fallout 4's overhauled, voiced dialogue system is easily one of its most criticised elements, with many fans believing that its simplicity takes away from what made the more complex speech trees of previous titles enjoyable. Although we don't think it's quite as bad as some make it out to be, we can certainly see where the criticism is...
E3 2016 Become a Raider Boss in Fallout 4's Next Big Expansion
Bandit country
Nuka World, announced during Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference, is Fallout 4's next big expansion. It's not due out until August, but the developer's spilled some general details on what we can expect from the add-on all the same. The big story here is that you'll apparently be able to lead Raider gangs, becoming the brutal tyrant...
Feature All the E3 2016 Press Conferences Rated and Reviewed
Hot or not?
The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center are just creaking open, which means that E3 2016 is about to get into full-swing – but before we turn our attention to all of the news coming from the show floor, we figured that it would be fun to look back at the past couple of days of pressers, and rate them. Electronic Arts:
E3 2016 Skyrim: Special Edition Is No Simple Remaster on PS4
It's a bit of an overhaul
Our pals over at Digital Foundry have cast their gaze towards the freshly announced The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition, and they've really put the remaster through the ringer. According to the publication, the Special Edition, coming to PlayStation 4 this October, is no simple re-release - it is, in fact,...
E3 2016 Looks Like We Won't Be Seeing A New Elder Scrolls for Eons
A prophecy waiting to be fulfilled
While we were holding out on the slim chance that Bethesda might reveal a teaser for the next instalment in its The Elder Scrolls saga last night, it seems our hopes have been crushed even further. Bethesda head Todd Howard had the chance to speak with Geoff Keighley and addressed the question that's been on...
E3 2016 Dishonored 2 Will Feature an Optional No Powers Mode
Absolute power corrupts
In a slightly awkward exchange on today's Youtube Gaming at E3 livestream, Bethesda head Pete Hines announced that Dishonored 2 will ship with a new mode known as 'Flesh and Steel', which will allow you to play the entire game without access to any powers whatsoever. At the beginning of the title, you can simply refuse to be...
E3 2016 One Huge Change Is Coming to The Elder Scrolls Online This Year
Explore Tamriel with no restrictions
Buried under everything else that Bethesda revealed during its E3 2016 press conference early this morning, fans of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will want to wrap their heads around a huge change that's coming to the game later this year. Put simply, ZeniMax Online Studios is going to be removing...

Dovah-sheen
The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim is being remastered for the PlayStation 4, with the best-selling role-playing release launching on 28th October for Sony's new-gen system. But how good does the game look on more modern hardware? Bethesda's released some screenshots which show off the upgrade's denser foliage and improved lighting. Is it an...
Reaction E3 2016's Off to a Very Disappointing Start
EA and Bethesda fall flat
The doors of the Los Angeles Convention Center are yet to open, but the press conferences always mark the start of E3 anyway. It's a shame, then, that Sunday's round of presentations fell flat – with both EA Games and Bethesda struggling to string together any meaningful reveals. Both pressers re
Round Up What Did Bethesda Announce At Its E3 2016 Press Conference?
Not a lot
Bethesda's E3 2016 press conference was notably lacking in, well… Anything of note, really. The publisher – which put on a stellar show last year – ambled out of the gate with a lacklustre selection of titles, and while the likes of Dishonored 2 and Skyrim Special Edition do legitimately look great… They're not exactly getting our...
E3 2016 Here's What's Next For Fallout 4's DLC on PS4
We're going to Nuka World
Bethesda revealed what's next for Fallout 4 at its E3 2016 press conference, and while a couple of meagre add-on packs had many fans groaning, the good news is that the open world role-playing shooter is getting what looks to be another sizeable expansion in August. But first, let's rewind to the not-so-exciting stuff. To...
E3 2016 Bethesda Takes the Mask Off Dishonored 2 in Gameplay Showcase
Take back what's yours
At the end of its tepid E3 presser, Bethesda showed off the first gameplay footage of Dishonored 2. This started with a good look at what the custom game engine, called Void, can do. Developer Arkane expressed its aim of making the sequel look like a painting come to life, much like the first game, and following a showreel of...
E3 2016 Skyrim: Special Edition Brings Way Better Graphics to PS4 This Year
Fus Ro Dayum
As the leaks foretold, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is bringing its brand of open world fantasy to PlayStation 4 later this year.

E3 2016 You Can Download DOOM's First Level on PS4 for Free
DOOM's day
Shareware was a big deal when DOOM first started out, so Bethesda's trying to bring back some of that love – by basically releasing a demo for the FPS on the PlayStation Store. The trial – which features the first level from the critically acclaimed campaign – is available on the PlayStation 4 right now, so give it a go if you want...
Talking Point Did Bethesda Bring the Big Guns to E3 2016?
All of the Fallout
This year marked only the second ever Bethesda press conference, but already the organisation feels like part of the E3 furniture. Its media briefing earlier today centred on the likes of Dishonored 2 and Fallout 4 DLC, but it also included announcements of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Prey, too. But what did...
E3 2016 Wolfenstein: The New Colossus May Be the Next Title from Machine Games
Shadow of the Colossus
A dismal Bethesda press conference concluded without any mention of the rumoured Wolfenstein 2 – or did it? Eagle-eyed fans spotted reference to The New Colossus in the media briefing's inspired DOS opening, with its release date blanked out. It's safe to assume that this is what Machine Games is working on – even though...
E3 2016 Bethesda Announces Prey, Will Come to PS4 in 2017
Good morning, Morgan
Bethesda has shown off a new entry in the Prey series coming to the PlayStation 4 in 2017. Developer Arkane Austin is in charge of the game and it is currently unknown whether this is a sequel, reboot, or re-imagining of the 2006 title of the same name. However, as this new release doesn't have a number in the title, it's safe...
Live Watch Bethesda's E3 2016 Press Conference Right Here
Can you take the Fallout?
It's only Bethesda's second ever E3 press conference, but after last year's slick showing, it's got a lot to live up to at E3 2016. We're expecting the likes of Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2 to feature heavily, but don't rule out appearances from rumoured releases like Wolfenstein 2, Prey 2, and The Evil Within 2. The action...
E3 2016 Get a Look at Dishonored 2 Ahead of Bethesda's Presser
Try not to Blink
It's another day, so that means another leaked trailer has hit Twitch. This time it's the turn of Dishonored 2, which will almost certainly feature during Bethesda's press conference this evening. The clip doesn't show a whole lot, so we'd expect a lot more during the publisher's media briefing. This one is due out on 11th November,...

News Bethesda to Bring Prey 2, The Evil Within 2, and Wolfenstein 2 to E3 2016
2 much
Bethesda's press conference at E3 2015 seemed like a fancy way of announcing Fallout 4, so we were taken aback when it revealed that it would be repeating the song and dance this year. But apparently it's got plenty to show, with rumours swirling that in addition to a remastered version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it's also going to...
Rumour The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Is Being Remastered for PS4
Perhaps it'll work this time?
Sharpen up your Fus Ro Dah chops, because Bethesda is apparently remastering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the PlayStation 4.

Hands On Fallout 4: Far Harbor Removes Fog to Boost PS4 Framerate
There's always a catch
We're happy to report that Fallout 4 fans can rest easy for now – well, kind of. Fallout 4: Far Harbor, the game's first "real" expansion, ran very poorly on PlayStation 4 when it released. The add-on's island location was covered in thick fog, and this effect, combined with detailed lighting techniques, resulted in a...

Frame rate supposedly fixed
Is the saga finally over?

Wait, what? Last week, Bethesda stated that it had sent a Fallout 4: Far Harbor update to Sony for approval. It was apparently going to fix the add-on's serious frame rate issues, but the supposed patch still isn't available to download on PlayStation 4. Quite the mystery. Except there may have...
News Expect a Fallout 4: Far Harbor Performance Improving Patch Next Week on PS4
See through the fog
We were kind of hoping that Bethesda would be able to get a patch out earlier in the week to address Fallout 4: Far Harbor's serious frame rate issues on PlayStation 4, but it sadly didn't arrive in time for the weekend. However, over on its official Twitter account, the developer has confirmed that a fix is incoming. "We've...
