Bethesda celebrates the 10th birthday of Fallout 4 by releasing its Anniversary Edition on PS5. If you’ve got the base game, you can upgrade for $40. This edition promises to be the “definitive” version, bundling all previous DLC and expansions along with a hefty collection of over 150 Creation Club items.
For those unfamiliar with the Creation Club concept, think of it as smaller DLC packs. While some of these items are purely cosmetic, like new skins for your equipment or your dog companion, they also add fresh elements to the game.
Pricing Options and What’s Included
You have two main choices when buying. The entire package is available for $60, while the discounted upgrade for existing owners is $40. To access Creation Club content alone, owners must consider a separate Creations Bundle priced at about $20.
This pricing has stirred some discussion among fans. Many feel that compared to Skyrim’s Anniversary Edition upgrade, which was only $20, Fallout 4’s charges seem steep. Skyrim offered new quests as part of its content, making the extra cost feel justified.
Value Comparison with Skyrim
Critics are drawing comparisons to the Skyrim Anniversary Edition, suggesting its extra content felt more substantial and meaningful. It’s important to look at how these two editions measure up in terms of value received versus the price paid.
– Fallout 4 upgrade: $40
– Skyrim upgrade: $20
– Additional Creations Bundle for Fallout: $20
– Full package for Fallout: $60
Fan Reactions and Future Considerations
Players are split on whether the pricing matches the value offered. Some are excited to dive back into the post-apocalyptic landscape of Boston, while others are hesitant due to the cost versus content depth.
