If you're getting frustrated by frequent frame-rate stutters in Fallout 4 on Xbox One, you may want to try an external hard drive. According to multiple tests run by Digital Foundry, running Fallout 4 off of a speedier drive can smooth out some areas of otherwise uneven performance.

Keep in mind that Bethesda will hopefully sort out many of these performance issues through post-launch updates - it took a while for Skyrim to shake off the launch jitters on console, too. But if you're too enamored with dressing up Dogmeat to wait for an update, these tips should help in the meantime.
