The latest Fallout 76 patch notes and updates are all about prepping for Fallout 76 Wastelanders. It's a 2.5GB/1GB size update for PC and console respectively and focuses mainly on "behind-the-scenes adjustments" and bug fixes to the main game and Nuclear Winter, as well as basically gearing the base game up for the new expansion.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
