Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition brings new content, better handheld support Nov 10 — and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2 next year

by

As a huge Fallout fan, I’m getting really excited! Bethesda just announced the Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, and it’s coming to Xbox, PC, and PlayStation on November 10, 2025 – can you believe it’s been almost ten years since the original launch? This edition isn’t just the base game and all the DLC we already know and love; it also packs over 150 pieces of Creation Club content. What’s really cool is they’re adding a Creations menu, similar to what they did in Starfield and Skyrim, which should make finding and installing awesome player-made mods way easier. I can’t wait to jump back into the Wasteland!

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is coming to the new Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, letting players enjoy the game on the go. This re-release will also be available on existing platforms in 2025. It’s the second Bethesda game planned for the Switch 2, joining Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, also set to launch in 2026. With the game recently optimized for handheld devices like the Steam Deck and Xbox Ally, the developers seem well-equipped to get it running smoothly on Nintendo’s new console. It makes you wonder if other Bethesda titles, like DOOM: The Dark Ages, might follow in the future.

Fallout is capping off 2025 in a big way

While Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is coming next month, the biggest Fallout news this year is the return of the TV series. Season 2 premieres on Prime Video December 17th, with new episodes released weekly. This season takes Lucy and The Ghoul to New Vegas, and teasers show off familiar faces like Caesar’s Legion and Mr. House, along with the terrifying Deathclaw.

The first season was a huge success for Amazon, quickly becoming one of their most popular shows, and it’s already been renewed for a third season!

For those wanting more Fallout to *play*, The Ghoul isn’t just on TV. He’s also coming to Fallout 76 in December with the new Burning Springs expansion. Walton Goggins will reprise his role, bringing the same voice and character to the game. In the expansion, The Ghoul will offer players bounty targets to complete for rewards in the form of Caps.
