Fallout 4 is getting a free survival mode in a future update, but the beta still needs tweaks. A recent update to Fallout 4 has brought a new mode along with all the fixes, even though we still don’t know when the mode will officially launch.
The survival mode will make playing Fallout 4 much more difficult. Players will have to pay attention to their food, water, and amount of sleep in addition to all the deathclaws and other hazards of the Commonwealth. The mode is still in beta, and only available for PC players.
Unfortunately, we still don’t know when the mode will leave beta, or when we will see a release for Xbox One and PS4. Like other updates, the full release will likely come to PC first, with a console release a few days to a week later.
The full patch notes for the update are as follows:
New Survival Features
Thirst, hunger, sleep and disease icons will change color based on status
Survival Fixes
Less food and drink are required to maintain proper sustenance
Carry capacity lowered
Sleep cycle has been lowered from 24 hours to 14 hour days
Reduced chances to getting a disease
Fusion cores weigh more
Nuka Cola Quantums no longer cancel out caffeine effect from Nuka Cola and Nuka Cola Cherry
Fixed occasional issue with becoming parched or peckish when thirst or hunger are actually satisfied
Fixed issue where Adrenaline effect would incorrectly persist after changing difficulty level
When companion is down, a quest target will appear on them
