Bethesda Softworks has officially launched Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, marking a pivotal moment for both the renowned Fallout franchise and the expanding library of Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
Fallout 4, originally released in 2015 by Bethesda Game Studios, has earned its place as a modern RPG classic, winning over 200 awards, including the prestigious DICE and BAFTA Game of the Year honors.
Now, with its definitive Anniversary Edition, the title makes its long-awaited debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo eShop, offering a comprehensive experience for both new players and series veterans. Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition delivers the complete post-apocalyptic adventure by packaging the critically acclaimed base game with all six major expansions—Automatron, Far Harbor, Nuka-World, and the trio of Workshop expansions.
Additionally, players will find over 150 curated Creation Club items, further enriching the Commonwealth with new weapons, alternative Dogmeat breeds (ranging from huskies to dalmatians), enhanced gameplay mechanics, and quest extensions.
These enhancements ensure that longtime fans and newcomers alike will have new ways to personalize their journey through the wasteland. Bethesda highlights the core pillars that have defined Fallout 4’s enduring legacy: • Freedom and Liberty: Players can explore a vast, open world brimming with diverse locations, memorable characters, and branching quests.
Form alliances with various factions or go solo, with meaningful choices shaping every playthrough. • S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
System: Customize your protagonist using Fallout's iconic S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
(Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck) character progression.
Hundreds of Perks enable a variety of playstyles—from smooth talkers and stealth operatives to power-armored titans. • Visual Enhancements: The game's next-generation graphics and lighting engine bring the ruined landscapes of the Commonwealth and Boston to life with greater detail and atmosphere. • Dynamic Combat and V.A.T.S.: Engage in strategic combat with the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.), which lets players slow time and target enemies, or opt for real-time shooting action. • Settlement Building: Scavenge materials to craft and customize weapons, armor, and consumables.
More ambitious players can design and manage entire settlements, shaping the Commonwealth's future one structure at a time. The digital edition of Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 is available now on the Nintendo eShop globally.
For collectors and fans who prefer physical media, Bethesda Softworks has confirmed a boxed version set for release on April 28, 2026. With this launch, Bethesda Game Studios reinforces Fallout 4’s legacy and provides Nintendo Switch 2 owners with one of the most elaborate and expansive RPGs of its generation.
This release underscores Bethesda’s commitment to making their celebrated titles accessible across the industry’s leading platforms, further strengthening the relationship between the Fallout IP and the Nintendo community.
