Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Brings Definitive Post-Apocalyptic Experience to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026

Bethesda Softworks has officially announced that Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is in development for Nintendo Switch 2, set to launch worldwide in 2026.

This marks a significant milestone for both the acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG and Nintendo's upcoming hardware, offering long-time fans and new players the chance to experience one of Bethesda Game Studios’ most celebrated titles on a next-generation portable platform. Since its original launch in 2015, Fallout 4 has become a cornerstone in the RPG genre, immersing players in a richly detailed, post-nuclear Boston.

Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed by Bethesda Game Studios, the game invites players to step out of Vault 111 and navigate a world destroyed by war and fraught with both danger and opportunity.

Over its lifespan, Fallout 4 has received critical acclaim for its open-world design, robust building mechanics, and extensive mod support, with sales surpassing 13 million copies worldwide within weeks of its initial release. According to the publisher, the Anniversary Edition is "the ultimate celebration of a beloved classic," uniting the base game with all six official add-ons, including Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, and the complete suite of Workshop expansions.

In addition, the package features more than 150 pieces of Creation Club content.

This collection spans new weapons, additional breeds for the companion Dogmeat—like husky and Dalmatian options—as well as previously unreleased quest expansions and gameplay improvements aimed at enhancing replayability for both veterans and newcomers. Bethesda Game Studios stated that this edition is designed as a fitting tribute to Fallout 4’s decade-long legacy, allowing players to re-experience building settlements, battling formidable adversaries, and uncovering the mysteries of the Commonwealth.

The Anniversary Edition will be available at retail and on the Nintendo eShop, fully optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2’s hardware advancements.

This move underscores Bethesda's commitment to expanding their presence on Nintendo platforms and making premium experiences more accessible, following the success of earlier Switch ports such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Set for release in 2026, Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 arrives just as the series celebrates ten years since launch, bringing with it an expanded world, celebrated gameplay, and a trove of additional content.

For fans of the franchise and Nintendo hardware alike, this upcoming release is shaping up to be a major event within both the RPG and portable gaming communities.
