"Fallout 4" is poised to receive a new update from Bethesda anytime soon. The studio plans to unleash update 1.6 on Steam Beta, while consoles have to wait a little bit longer. The upcoming update is said to introduce a number of bug fixes and improvements, all of which are readily available for the PC platform.
According to Tech Times, "Fallout 4" is slated to acquire the so-called update 1.6 on Steam Beta, but it will only be available for PC owners. The update is still acquiring some sort of approvals so as to make its way into PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
As expected, the new "Fallout 4" update is set to introduce a handful of bug fixes as well as improvements. But apart from these, the one that stands out is the new feature called ExitSave.
When "Fallout 4" players tend to end a particular session and proceed to the main menu, the game shall then create an ExitSave. That way, when they need to load the file again, it will simply delete itself. It is worth noting that the new feature can be utilized for all difficulty levels, most especially in Survival mode.
Daily Star, on the other hand, reports that "Fallout 4" update 1.6 will include some new add-ons. One is the Workshop mod, while the other is a support for the game's upcoming DLC. The latter has been announced back at Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). It is called "Vault-Tech Workshop" and will arrive this month. Meanwhile, another DLC named "Nuka World" is set to be introduced sometime in August.
