Fallout 4 resolution and frame rate ‘not limited in any way’ on PC

Looking to clarify some confusion surrounding Fallout 4's resolution and frame rate, Bethesda has officially confirmed the game will run at 1080p and 30 frames per second on Xbox One and PS4. On PC, resolution and frame rate will not be limited "in any way."

The clarification comes just days after Director Todd Howard told Digital Spy Fallout 4 would run at 1080p/30fps "on everything".

So PC Master Race wins again, but on the console front — Xbox One or PS4? With both systems running at the same frame rate and resolution, Xbox One players will have a slight advantage over PS4 at least early on as Bethesda plans on implementing mod support first on Microsoft's console. Bethesda announced at E3 that the Xbox One version of the game will be able to play mods created on PC. It won't happen at launch, but it will be the first console out of the two to get such a feature.

Bethesda also said they have plans to allow mods on the PS4 as well, but it doesn't sound like it's as fully fleshed out. Howard told Digital Spy they are "going to make every effort" to implement the feature, but acknowledged, "If Sony says no, we won't, but I don't think they will."

As for the timing of everything, it's still a bit fuzzy. "But, you know, it will come out on PC first. So early 2016, the creation mod for the PC, and then we're going to make that work on the Xbox One, and then we're going to do the PS4 version," he said.

Fallout 4 is set to release on November 10, 2015.
