Fallout 4 1.4 Patch Arrives For PlayStation 4 And Xbox One
Okay PC players, you can stop thumbing your nose and sticking your tongue out at your console owning brethren at being first to receive Fallout 4's latest patch, version 1.4. Following its release on PC last month, Bethesda has gone and rolled out the newest Fallout 4 update to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Bethesda's doling out the patch as an automatic update to all three platforms (if you've logged into the PC version within the past couple of weeks, you should already have it). What's notable about the newest update is that it adds support for DLC, which comes just as Bethesda readies the first release in a series of add-ons.
The first of those add-ons is called Automatron. It's a $10 add-on featuring "robots, robots, and more robots" and it's due out sometime this month. Following that, Bethesda will release Wasteland Workshop, a $5 add-on due out in April that's filled with items to redecorate your home and cages to capture live creatures. And lastly, Bethesda will launch Far Harbor, a $25 add-on that's basically an expansion.
Other new features stuffed into the 1.4 patch include additional art customization added to the Workshop. It consists of the following:

If you're a developer or publisher, pay attention, this is a decent blueprint to follow.
