Fallout 5 Release Date [ Updated 2023 ]

Bethesda has confirmed the existence of Fallout 5. And it would be a great surprise for players when the Fallout 5 release date will be announced. There is a lot of confusion about the Fallout 5 release date, supported platforms, system requirements, and a lot of other stuff which we are going to clear here.

Fallout 4 was released way back in 2015 and the most recent release in the franchise was Fallout 76 which was released in 2018. Players are expecting the Fallout 5 to come out this year but at the moment nothing can be said. Currently, Bethesda is focusing on the Starfield, Indiana Jones, and The Elder Scrolls 6. If you are expecting Fallout 5 to be released soon then it would be good if you don’t think about it too much for a few years.

But we have to understand that Fallout is one of the biggest franchises of Bethesda which also means that they won’t take too much time to release the game on the next gaming consoles. Sony and Microsoft are keenly looking to Bethesda to release the Fallout 5 on their gaming consoles. As Sony and Microsoft are in the competition to release the exclusive titles on their own platform, so there is a rumor that the biggest and the most popular racing game of all time, the Forza Horizon 5 will be an Xbox exclusive which can be a big hit for Microsoft and it will be bad for Sony and it’s PS5.

Similar to Forza Racing Games, the Fallout series has a big fan base and everyone wants to know about the Fallout 6 Release Date, its system requirements, supported platforms, and if it will have a multiplayer mode or not. Below, you can find complete information about Fallout 5.

Currently, there are a lot of rumors revolving around all over social media about Fallout 5 but nothing can be believed until the official confirmation from Bethesda comes out. There are a lot of speculations and predictions about the game which are just a piece of leak news and nothing more than that, but what we can believe is the leaks from the officials.

Similar to any other game and its release, many officials reveal a lot of different pieces of news on different places and platforms, and so we have for Fallout 5.

Fallout 5 Release Date

When it comes to the release date of Fallout 5 then currently it looks like Bethesda has been focusing on their other games which include the Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield. But it can’t be said that nothing is getting cooked inside Bethesda Studios. Definitely, they are going to surprise all the players when they will announce the release date of Fallout 5. But currently, there is no expectation about the Fallout 5 being released this year.

According to news journalists, Fallout 5 will be coming out in 2022 but we are not confirming the news. Most of the game publishers and developers follow a pattern to release their games, but the Fallout series haven’t followed any pattern yet, and we are expecting that the Fallout 5 release date announcement will be a surprise for everyone.

There is also a new rumor spreading in the market that Fallout 5 will release after The Elder Scrolls 6. Also, a well-known leaker McVicker claims that the game will come in the 2030s, and expecting anything from the game might be too far, till 2030s there will be many things changes in the gaming industry.

Fallout 5 Map and Locations

Every Fallout fan is familiar with the doomsday nuclear-ravaged American setting. Similar to all franchise titles, the Fallout 5 location will be set in the US state. You may remember or not, but the Fallout 3 location was set in Washington whereas Fallout 4 had a map of Boston.

Here are the maps and locations of Fallout 5, according to leaks and experts:

• New Orleans
• Chicago
• Other Locations

The most revolving rumor of the Fallout 5 location claims that the Fallout 5 location will be set in New Orleans after we saw a trademark application for “Fallout New Orleans”. But according to experts, it is nothing but a clickbait from Bethesda.

The second location is set in Chicago but again this is also not confirmed. And this rumor came out because of the Fallout: New Vegas whose location was hinting towards the Enclave Outpost in Chicago.

Fallout 5 Supported Platforms

When it comes to the Fallout 5 supported platforms then definitely it is not going to be exclusive for any gaming platform or console until Sony offers Bethesda a good amount. The Fallout 5 will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC.

According to TechRadar, Fallout 5 can be exclusive for the Xbox consoles and that can be a big headache for Sony. Most of the PS5 users are already criticizing Sony for only a few major releases on the PS5 console and if games like Fallout 5 and Forza Horizon 5 don’t come on PS5 then definitely it will not be a good sign for Sony. According to some reports, the Fallout 5 will come out on Xbox Series X and S and with the Game Pass.

Fallout 5 will have a Multiplayer Mode?

Fallout series has been known for their single-player modes and none of their titles came out with the multiplayer mode but looking at the next-gen gaming titles, it is expected that it will come out with a multiplayer mode. But if you look at the interview of Gamestar with Fallout 76, they stated that they want to keep their games single player. Apart from that, there is no information about the multiplayer mode.

Fallout 5 System Requirements

Nothing can be said before the release of the game. But looking at the previous game requirement and the next-gen gaming titles, we know that Fallout 5 won’t be a Low End PC Game and it will require an ultimate gaming PC to run. So you need to have a decent PC to run Fallout 5. However, if you have a console then there no need to worry about the game running. But please be informed that it will only run on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S, which also excluded Xbox One and PS4. Obviously, these types of games require high-end PCs but at the same time, they will be able to run on mid-range PCs as well. Because gaming companies need to sell more copies to earn profit and if they only launch on high-end PCs then how will be able to sell copies of these games. Definitely, the game will have the best graphics at the high settings. In terms of PC system requirements still, nothing is clear about this game, we will update the article once we got anything about the specs requirements of this game.
