Bethesda has announced that a beta patch for Fallout 4 will likely be available next week.
On its website, the company hailed its latest launch as “our most robust and solid release ever, and we’d like to thank our amazing QA staff who worked as hard as anyone to break the game so we could fix it during development. But a hundred testers will never replicate the many millions playing the game now, and we’re hard at work addressing the top issues.”
The company plans to follow its past process of patching the game, with a beta update expected to hit Steam next week. This will be followed by a full PC release and then finally the console versions of the game will get the update. Bethesda says this method has worked well for them in the past and allows them to create patches faster.
“Expect to see more updates, that are smaller and more frequent, than a few big ones,” the company continues. “This allows us to make sure each fix is working right, as any change can have unintentional side effects in a game this huge.”
Bethesda also thanks its fans in the post for an “incredible” launch, which it says is not only their biggest but one of the industry’s. If you haven’t already done so, you can check out our review here.
