Fallout 5 location and setting: where could it be set? At the very least, we'd expect Fallout 5 to be a title for Xbox Game Pass.Ĭonsidering console lifecycles usually last about seven years, it seems likely we would see Fallout 5 release on these systems before the next, next-generation systems are going to be introduced. It stands to reason that Microsoft and Bethesda would make this an exclusive title because of the former's purchase of the latter earlier this year, but Xbox has said exclusivity deals on new games from Bethesda will be decided on a case by case basis so it's hard to be certain. It's likely we'll see the next Fallout release for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.


Fallout 5 platforms: will it be an Xbox exclusive? Obviously, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is going to complicate matters in development, which could feasibly lead to multiple delays, even following an announcement of the game. It all really depends on how far along the Bethesda teams are with each game, but it would make sense that we would see Fallout 5 released sometime after these titles. Realistically, 2024 or later is more realistic. This release window would line up historically, as the gap between Fallout games is typically seven years, this was the case between Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout 4 (2015).īut the reality is that Bethesda hasn't officially confirmed the next Fallout game and the developer is focusing on Starfield, Elder Scrolls 6 and improvements for Fallout 76 currently – making 2022 seem pretty ambitious. While there's currently no confirmed release date for Fallout 5, there's plenty of speculation out there at the moment, with some optimistic predictions even setting a release date for 2022 - though this is extremely unlikely.
