Fallout 4 Patch Notes Include New Features, Bug Fixes, and More

As promised, a work-in-progress version of the first patch for Fallout 4 has arrived. The developer today released update 1.2.33, which is available for players on PC who have opted in to receive beta updates.

The Fallout 4 patch introduces new features (number pad keys are now available for remapping, for instance) as well as a handful of bug fixes and general stability improvements. Check out the patch notes.

Beta Update 1.2.33

New Features

Bethesda cautions that this Fallout 4 update is non-final and suggests you back up your saved games before opting in to the beta. You can do that by right clicking the game in your library -> Properies -> Betas. You can drop out of the beta at any time in the same menu.

Last week, Bethesda said it was "hard at work addressing the top issues." Patches will be released in beta on Steam first, followed by a full release on PC before coming to consoles last. Generally speaking, Fallout 4 players can also look forward to "smaller and more frequent" updates rather than a few major ones.

No time table was provided regarding when this Fallout 4 patch will be released to everyone on PC and consoles. We'll have that information for you as it's announced.
