Game developer Bethesda on Tuesday has confirmed that the new downloadable content for the "Fallout 4" video game won't be platform-exclusive. Bethesda Marketing Executive Pete Hines announced the news via Twitter in response to a question by a fan, a report from Gamespot said.
The avid fan reportedly asked Hines if the game's upcoming add-ons will only be available for Xbox One or if it will be rolled out to all platforms simultaneously. "We aren't doing a DLC exclusive with anyone," Hines tweeted.
"This marks a shift for Fallout. Fallout 3's DLC add-ons were originally exclusive to Xbox 360 and Games for Windows, and later released on PlayStation 3. Timed Xbox exclusivity continued for Fallout: New Vegas' DLC add-on Dead Money, which launched on Xbox 360 two months before it did on PS3," Eurogamer said.
It can be recalled that Bethesda has announced earlier this month that "Fallout 4" season pass will be sold for $30. Players who are planning to buy the game's season pass will be able to get all "Fallout 4" DLC. It was said that the game's DLC is expected to be available sometime in early 2016, after the game's November 2015 launch.
"Bethesda is also seemingly taking a page out of the CD Projekt RED playbook as Fallout 4 is also planning a number of free updates to the game including new content and features. While the DLC and season pass announcement was met with a little hesitation from some fans, Bethesda is looking to do DLC right by keeping fans in the know about what's coming down the road. Based on Bethesda's track record with DLC, it's fair to say that fans shouldn't be disappointed in what the company will eventually offer," Gamerant noted.
"Fallout 4" is slated to be released on November 10 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
