Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Launch Draws Backlash Over Bugs, Broken Mods, and Confusing Upgrades

Early player feedback centers on instability and mod breakage, with patches slated for late November and December.

Overview

  • Bethesda’s re-release bundles the base game, six add-ons, and 150+ Creations via a new in-game Creations menu on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
  • Pricing lands at $59.99 for the full package, $39.99 for the upgrade, and $19.99 for the Creations Bundle, with guidance that Game of the Year owners should only buy the Creations Bundle.
  • Steam reactions to the Creations Bundle trend Mostly Negative as players report crashes, performance problems, and nonfunctioning or broken mods.
  • PC modders published a Steam depot rollback to restore the previous executable so F4SE-dependent setups can run until tools update.
  • Bethesda plans bug fixes and a higher mod storage limit across two patches targeted for November 24 and a follow-up in December.
