Fallout 4 10 Year Anniversary Edition — What We Know So Far

With the game's 10th anniversary around the corner, Bethesda Game Studios has officially announced the “Anniversary Edition” of Fallout 4, set to launch on November 10, 2025 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Here's a breakdown of what this edition includes, what it means for players, and what to look out for.

What's Included

The full base game of Fallout 4, giving new players and returning ones the core Commonwealth experience.

All six official expansions are bundled in, meaning players get the major DLC of the original release.

Over 150 Creations / mod-items integrated: Bethesda is bringing in a curated set of community mods (or mod-like content) officially for this edition, with better access for console players.

A new “Creations Hub” inside the game: a redesigned in-game menu on consoles and PC to access community content more easily.

A planned Nintendo Switch 2 version for 2026 (no exact date yet) — so if you're waiting on that platform, you'll have to be patient.

Why This Edition Matters

For new players: It offers one of the best value entries into the Fallout franchise — base game + major expansions + curated content all in one package.

For returning players: If you haven't played Fallout 4 in a while, this gives you an updated, cleaner version with official support for community content and access enhancements.

For the mod and console community: Especially significant is the improved Creations/Mod support on consoles. Traditionally mods were PC-centric; this moves towards more inclusive support.

For the tie-in with other media: The announcement aligns with the upcoming TV-show season of the Fallout universe, meaning there is renewed spotlight on Fallout content, which can mean better support, updates or deals.

What to Know / Things to Check

While it bundles lots of content, it may not necessarily alter the core game engine or rebuild it from scratch. The so-called "anniversary edition" in this case looks more like a high-value bundle + quality-of-life additions than a full remake. (Prior next-gen updates added 60FPS, higher res, but the foundation remains the same).

Mods: Although over 150 creations are included, for PC the mod scene will still be broad and community-driven; console users should check what is fully supported.

If you already own the game and expansions, check whether there's an upgrade path or discount — sometimes anniversary editions don't upgrade past owners automatically.

Platform-specific performance: If you play on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S, make sure the edition supports 4K, high FPS or any enhancements; older consoles may still be supported but with fewer benefits.

Timing: With global release on Nov 10, you'll want to consider regional pricing, possible launch day patches or server load if it integrates online features (mod sharing, creation hub).

Final Thoughts

The Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition is a strong offering for both newcomers and long-time fans. If you haven't yet explored the Commonwealth or want a more “complete” version of the game with added community content and better access, this edition is very well timed.

If you already own the game, expansions and mod content, then the value depends on whether these new Creations hub features or console mod-access are meaningful to you.
