Fallout 76 — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Fallout 76 targets 30 fps on both PS4 and PS4 Pro following patch 1.02, but neither platform delivers a completely stable experience. The base PS4 suffers heavily from frame drops down to 20 fps during gunplay and grenade usage, along with persistent stutter when transitioning between locations. PS4 Pro achieves a steady 30 fps during general exploration, but severe performance hiccups remain when firing augmented weapons. Both consoles suffer from notable visual bugs, low-resolution placeholder textures, and severe asset pop-in.
