Confirmed: Fallout 4 will run at 1080p and 30fps on PS4, Xbox One, PC Unlimited

4.1
Fallout 4 will run at 1080p and 30 frames-per-second on everything, it has been revealed.

Fallout 4 director Todd Howard confirmed the news to Digital Spy at this year's E3 gaming expo.

"It is 1080p on everything," he said, before confirming that it would run at 30fps and not 60fps.

Fallout 4, which is set in post-apocalyptic Boston, is the first new entry in the role-playing series since 2010's New Vegas.

Players will be able to build structures and defences within the game world, while mod support has been confirmed for PC, followed by Xbox One.

Update 2: After the comments by Pete Hines we removed this from our homepage but today Bethesda has confirmed that it's indeed true.
Update: Bethesda confirmed that the PC version of the game will be uncapped, and that 1080p/30fps only applies to the console versions.

I can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps anyways. Even asked my friends and they can't either. Won't affect me or my friends so haha to all you hard core PC gamers, looks like console and PC will look the same xD

ProJimmyRustler This was kinda an ambiguous remark that he made.
Other sites reassure their users that this comment was directed at Xbox One and PS4.
Bethesda wouldn't lock the FPS for PC users.


Yeah, There is no way they are going to be locking the fps for pc users i cant imagine 30 fps gah i bought a PC for a reason.


Plus a developer has confirmed that this hasn't been discussed, let alone announced.
So this is kind just clickbate.

That's so stupid, limiting the pc? That's the one system that is spent more money on to be able to play in better quality and get more out of the game than a console

Me seeing that they are capping fps to 30 means PC will probably get a shitty console port. They were dialing back graphics and now capping fps at 30 on everything. Bethesda is messing up bad, I was ok with them dialing back the graphics, but forcing pc players to 30 fps is idiotic. If this is true this will heavily impact my decision on buying the game. Also max resolution is 1080p, what are you doing Bethesda???

Beet I understand the lock on console but there should not be a lock on PC.


Its all about balance and Gaming equality


gaming equality??? Since when has PC been equal to consoles in a Bethesda game. 4 years ago Todd Howard said himself said that PC was the superior way to play Skyrim. You should not hold back one system that is limitless for two systems that are very limited.

SkullMaster47 No console would be able to handle 60FPS. Seeing as it will run at 30FPS on everything the graphics should be pretty exceptional. Can't wait for this one :)


Both xbox one and ps4 run at 60fps you idiot


*facepalm* yes they can run at 60 on some games but it depends on how the game is optimized. On this game they probably won't be able to handle 60 fps because of how much is in the game and the console's GPU cannot process it all. PC on the other hand vary because PCs have different specs. There should be no lock on PC because many on PC can get higher than 60. The problem is the xbone and ps4 are not that strong and are at the level of a $500 PC.
