Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition Launches With New Creations Menu as Pricing Draws Early Pushback

Game Pass excludes the new content, prompting buyer guidance to help owners avoid paying twice for DLC.

Overview

  • Bethesda’s reissue is live on PC, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series X|S, bundling the base game, six expansions, and 150+ Creation Club items, with a Nintendo Switch 2 port reported for 2026.
  • Storefronts list the full package at $59.99, an Anniversary Upgrade for existing base-game owners at $39.99, and a standalone Creations Bundle at $19.99.
  • Existing owners are not getting a free upgrade, and coverage advises Game of the Year edition users to buy only the $19.99 Creations Bundle, while base-game owners seeking everything should opt for the $39.99 Upgrade.
  • Xbox Game Pass includes Fallout 4’s base/GOTY versions but not the Anniversary Edition content, so subscribers must purchase the Creations Bundle or the upgrade to access the new items.
  • The update adds an in‑game Creations menu and performance fixes (including VATS accuracy and ultrawide support), as PC Gamer reports early "Mostly Negative" Steam reviews for the Creations Bundle citing connectivity problems, missing items, and menu issues.
