Fallout 4 High Res Texture Pack Coming To PC; PS4 Pro Upgrades Outlined

The irradiated wasteland will soon look better.

Fallout 4's PC and PlayStation 4 versions are getting new updates next week, Bethesda has announced.

Starting with PC, Bethesda announced today that it's releasing a high resolution texture pack as a "love letter" to fans. The download is free but you will need an additional 58 GB of available space to install the texture pack.

"If your system can handle it, the Commonwealth will look better than ever," Bethesda said. "Give it a shot and if you need to return to the original textures, you can disable them within the game's launcher menu."

As for PS4, the new update will add support for PS4 Pro. This includes features such as native 1440p resolution, enhanced draw distance (for trees, grass, objects, and NPCs), and enhanced God ray effects.

Bethesda did not announce specific dates for the new Fallout 4 PC and PS4 updates. We'll report back with the specifics when they are confirmed.

In other news, Bethesda said it will release a new update for Skyrim Special Edition on all platforms next week to add more features for mods. Bethesda did not provide any details but said it will make announcements sometime next week.

58GB? lol

Wow, a thank you to the fans is a 60gb texture pack? Lol

Beyond the ridiculous Day 1 dlc, horse armor dlc, I also really hate the insane sizes of patches or whatever. Freakin 60gb on top of I'm assuming like 30 already. I mean Skyrim was like 25gb or so for the base game.

Next gen will have to adopt 4K blu-ray for physical games or multiple blu-ray installs. I doubt my internet will be able to handle that in 4 years.

A 60GB patch? I have 2 10GB games waiting to be downloaded depending whether I have enough data left over at the end of the month. Looks like I'll have to chose which one to download this month, or risk paying 20 dollars extra to download a $5 game lol.

Lol 58gbs!!

Anyway great to hear the Pro patch is coming out!

Those better make the game look like real life itself, FO4 already eats up enough of my space.

4K is crazy for download sizes...8 GB movies turned to +30-40GB when they are 4K...sorry for the ones with a data limit :s;
