Bethesda annuncia che la modalità sopravvivenza di Fallout 4 è uscita dalla fase beta, permettendo a tutti gli utenti PC di provarla gratuitamente.
La modalità è stata lanciata in versione di prova a fine marzo su Steam, permettendo alla compagnia di ottenere importanti feedback dai giocatori e bilanciare adeguatamente la difficoltà della modalità. La Survival Mode arriva con la nuova patch 1.5, già disponibile per PC e prossimamente disponibile anche su PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Oltre alla nuova difficoltà, l’aggiornamento include numerosi cambiamenti e correzioni al gioco, che potete scoprire nel changelog completo seguente (in lingua inglese):
