Fallout 4 Next Gen update release time and date
Fallout 4 Next Gen Update will be available on Thursday April 25. This date was confirmed earlier this month, but Bethesda has yet to reveal the exact launch time. However, we know that the PlayStation Store generally refreshes at 5:00 p.m. BST every day, so the following time zones are where we expect it to be available to PS5 players:
- North America: 9:00 a.m. PDT / 12:00 p.m. EDT
- UNITED KINGDOM: 5:00 p.m. BST
- Europe: 6:00 p.m. CEST
- Asia/Oceania: 1:00 a.m. JST (April 26) / 12:00 a.m. AWST (April 26) / 2:00 a.m. AEST (April 26)
Xbox Series X and PC players may have to wait 6:00 p.m. BST, however, because this is usually the time when Steam refreshes every day and Fallout 76 updates are often deployed. As such, we anticipate that Xbox Series X and PC players will instead have to wait for the following times:
- North America: 10:00 a.m. PDT / 1:00 p.m. EDT
- UNITED KINGDOM: 6:00 p.m. BST
- Europe: 7:00 p.m. CEST
- Asia/Oceania: 2:00 a.m. JST (April 26) / 1:00 a.m. AWST (April 26) / 3:00 a.m. AEST (April 26)
As soon as we have more precise information, we will update this page with the correct times.

Fallout 4 Next Gen Update Download Size
Bethesda hasn’t revealed the exact download size of the Fallout 4 Next Gen update, but if you’re downloading the game for the first time, the download size will vary depending on the platform you’re playing on.
Fallout 4 is currently available 26 GB on PS4but it’s around 51 GB on XboxAnd 30 GB on PC.
However, the final numbers may be much higher than that due to high resolution support, but we will update this page with more information as it becomes available. For now, let’s consider these sizes as the minimum you will need it to download it.
