Bethesda has dropped its much-anticipated update<\/a> for Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition<\/a> on Switch 2, bringing NVIDIA DLSS support for both 40fps and 60fps modes.<\/p>\n

The developer promised<\/a> to bring DLSS<\/a>, along with performance and stability reports, just a day after the game’s launch back in February. And a month later, Bethesda has delivered.<\/p>\n

It’s a pretty meaty patch, so while DLSS is the headline here, crashes, memory handling, visual stability, and some missing button prompts have also been fixed.<\/p>\n

For the full rundown of what’s been added with this patch, you can head to Bethesda’s social media<\/a> or just read on here:<\/p>\n
