Fallout 4 frame-rate “can drop to the low 20 FPS on PS4 and Xbox One”

4.5
High scores it may have, but Fallout 4’s console frame-rate isn’t as stable as many would like.

Digital Foundry has confirmed the inevitable: Fallout 4’s frame-rate “can drop to the low 20 FPS line on PS4 and Xbox One”.

The Bethesda RPG’s final content embargo has now lifted, with review scores ranging from clean 10s to a 7.5 from Destructoid. Expect the subject of Fallout 4’s platform performance to rage long and hard.

Check out DF’s analysis below. Fallout 4 releases at midnight tonight.

Anyone else have horrible lag on Fallout 4 when a nuclear storm comes through you're area? I was in Sanctuary and the sky turned green and had a radioactive storm and I could barely move around,

Or is this normal in the game?

JTH PC will always be better with frame rate, although the low fps sucks I'm still sticking with console.


True, I think their going to fix this issue, because if it drops to 20 i'm sure people are going to be complaining, and the developers will get back on that right away and make it smoother, hopefully. :D

More reasons why PC is the master race. The "next gen" is trash, the older gen, xbox360 and ps3 were far better for their time. While the next gen tried selling people the lowest end GPU from AMD, a company with the lowest quarterly profit and market share. Not only was it low end, it was the low end GPU for 2011, the consoles came out right before 2014. They also use a CPU designed for tablets. You could buy all the parts for these consoles for well under $300. It is a shame.

This is a problem but you have to remember, no matter how good a game is made out to be or how big the hype is for it.. doesn't mean it will be perfect.

PC Master Race? nah just kidding although it's true ;). Surprised they haven't optimized this better considering it's a major game and will most likely get game of the year or at least in my opinion.

-Belial Should've just ran it at 900p. Would like fine and be stable.. so pointless for the 1080p sell point. Frames > Res.


So i'm not the only one who thinks this too. :)

Cyimking Eh. It's way too early but I will assume that the next Elder Scrolls would run at 60 FPS at 1080p with options up to 10k graphics for PC. I wouldn't be surprise if MS / PS upgraded the consoles to run up to 4k as well. This game is there first current gen consoles so I didn't expect much but ES5 should look and feel much better than F4.


If you tried to run the ps4 or xbone at 4k, you'd be lucky to get 5fps. I would even struggle to say it would handle 4k/60 VIDEO well!

MS and Sony screwed every console player, you're never going to get a 4k game.

Alrighty, Chill, the game is amazing whatever you're playing on. People better not judge the game over this BS thread
