Fallout 4 December Update Fixes Issues via Patch 1.42/1.000.007, But Doesn’t Expand Storage on Consoles
Bethesda is back this month for Fallout 4’s December 2025 update, and while there’s a lot of good news, there’s also some bad news as well.
Console gamers will see Fallout 4 update 1.42/1.000.007 available for download now, and this resolves a lot of issues that stemmed the previous updates. While this is good news, for those expecting storage to be expanded, Bethesda has confirmed that consoles will be getting it in 2026. For now, console Fallout 4 gamers are still stuck with 1 GB.
