Bethesda Game Studios has already rolled out patch 1.2 for the PC version of Fallout 4 earlier this week, but the developer has confirmed that those on PlayStation 4 can download the latest update from today.
Targeting specific issues such as problems with certain quest lines – namely When Freedom Calls – to general performance, Bethesda notes that those on Xbox One can expect patch 1.2 to arrive on Microsoft’s system later in the week.
