For the Xbox gamers who jumped right back into the Wasteland after feeling the magic by watching the award-winning Fallout TV show on Amazon, the annoying issue has finally been fixed. The reboot of the post-apocalyptic RPG Bethesda called Fallout 4 drew a lot of fans, especially on Xbox platforms. However, those players, who had returned found those achievements being unable to be unlocked. This disappointing inconvenience has been going on for a long time and players still get 0g even if they keep trying.

Xbox has confirmed that the lingering achievements bug has been fixed now. This happens a few days before Fallout 4 receives their much anticipated next-gen upgrade set on 25th April. The bug seems to have first sprouted up in early March but was quickly acknowledged by Xbox staff. After around a month of waiting, the problem was finally resolved last week, much to the relief of Xbox gamers everywhere.

A new beginning for Fallout 4 achievements 

Xbox players can get into the Commonwealth confidently without fearing their hard-acquired accomplishments being unrecorded with the issue now officially fixed. For the game veterans, it means at last being able to pick up where they left off and go on filling out that achievement list.

Coming in, meanwhile, is equally immersive, offering the whole authentic experience upon the first launch – including unlocking the mere “Welcome to the Wasteland” achievement, which to this day confuses a good chunk of Xbox players that are unable to hit the proper button that summons the menu. Acquiring this medal is low on the mission value ladder as it only needs a player to complete just the tutorial mission and enter the game world, therefore, it will take very little effort to get the award.

The more likely percentage of players who missed out this primary achievement is higher than normal because they stopped after playing a few minutes of Fallout 4 before getting over with it. However, to those who had to fight the issue during those hours and did not make it beyond the beginning, the efforts that were involved are now about to bear fruit.

Next-gen Fallout 4 update is on the way

Many Fallout fans both new and returning may choose to hold off a little longer just before jumping into the Commonwealth. The main reward in the field of view is certainly a big next-gen update, which will debut on April 25th for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. 

So, this next-gen makeover will boost the game’s visuals through a series of optimizations and enhancements to the 2015 open-world epic; finally, the buttery smooth 60 frames-per-second performance will be available on next-gen consoles. Other improvements include better graphics quality, rendered distance improvement, and loading times becoming shorter and shorter now that the hardware’s horsepower is stepped up.

But for the ones who have been cautiously playing the backward compatible version or waiting entirely, it looks like the  coming next-gen update would mean an opportunity to see Fallout 4 at its best-looking, smoothest-running self. The latest fixed gamerscore system will allow players to look through their progress and achievements without any obstacles and earn gamerscore while both watching and playing.
