Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition launches to negative reviews on Steam

The Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition has dropped for PC, PS5 and Xbox, but the update isn't being received particularly well on the PC side. Players have encountered new bugs on PC, as well as issues getting the newly-included Creation Club content working. 

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition is a package that includes the base game, all of the expansions, and a ‘Creations Bundle', containing 150 community-made mods from the Creation Club, all implemented into the game without any extra work needed. Unfortunately, the changeover to the Anniversary Edition has not gone as smoothly as Bethesda had hoped, with the ‘Creation Bundle' garnering a negative overall rating on Steam.

Some of the top-rated reviews right now say that Fallout 4 has become buggier since the update. Others have had issues getting the new creation club content at all and others are now facing crashes. A common complaint on the PC side is that the update has broken other mods, which isn't exactly uncommon for a heavily modded game after an update, but the newly included creation club content could be causing its own share of conflicts between files.

There were some initial issues with Skyrim when it received its Anniversary Edition upgrade years back but Bethesda was quick to resolve conflicts and due to the popularity of Skyrim modding, many popular mods were also updated to support the new version of the game. Time will tell if the same takes place with Fallout 4.
