The new "Once in a Blue Moon" update for Fallout 76 is available now, and although it wasn't mentioned in the initial patch notes, it comes with a native 60FPS upgrade for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S (as well as PS5).
Until today, Fallout 76 could only achieve 60 frames per-second on both consoles via the Xbox FPS Boost feature, but now it appears the Xbox Series X version is running natively at 4K, 60FPS while the Series S version is 1080p, 60FPS.
Below, you can check out some footage of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of Fallout 76 after the update, which appear to show that the Series X version is dropping frames quite often - so that's something to keep in mind.
Nevertheless, it's great to see Bethesda putting in the work to boost Fallout 76's visuals and performance on current-gen consoles. Don't forget that today's "Once in a Blue Moon update" also comes with a whole bunch of new features which you can check out right now on Xbox Game Pass - with more details on the game's official website.
"The Blue Moon rises over the hills of Appalachia, bringing forth new Cryptids to threaten the mercantile progress of the Blue Ridge Caravan Company. Defend their Brahmin herds and trade routes from crazed Cultists and monstrous creatures in two new Public Events and side quests, plus face enemies infected with a deadly new Daily Ops mutation for a chance to earn new rewards!"

I have always enjoyed this game. Really wish they would make the seasons easier to complete and with extra longer time frames to complete in. Honestly quit playing after the seasons became too big of a time sink having to play the game 2-3 hours EVERY DAY for OVER 3 months to complete the tedious tasks and challenges.
Turned me off any desire to play the game further. Which is ok since saved me from spending money in atomic shop. Basically seasons were counterproductive, at least for me, and resulted in no longer spending money or time in Fallout 76. Too many other games to play to have a shackle attached to my gaming time.
Jumped in for the update and everything looked "better" and I was confused.
Last year Bethesda promised a native current-gen update for Fallout 4 as well, I was hoping they would mention it in the Xbox showcase, but they have been radio silent about it...
@Magabro There's still gamescon to come, it's probably coming in November. I'd be surprised if we hear anything about it until Starfield launches.
Wait I thought running 20-30fps was a "creative decision"? Wasn't it more "cinematic" before?
@NEStalgia IT has been 60fps through FPS boost forever now. 😂
You're also talking about a game that came out on the anemic Xbox One.
I know it is a Starfield chide, but it doesn't work.
@InterceptorAlpha As long as they claim carp fps=cinematic=better the chide works for everything!
