The wait for Fallout 5 just keeps getting longer (heck, The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long ways off and it’s coming first), so Bethesda has released Fallout 4 once more to tide us over. Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition comes with all the DLC included in the Game of the Year Edition, plus a few extra bells and whistles in the form of the Creations Bundle.
Much like Skyrim’s Anniversary Edition upgrade, Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition’s main attractions are paid mods called Creations. These have been in the game since 2017, but now Fallout 4 is moving away from the “Creation Club” branding in favor of the simpler “Creations” menu featured in both Skyrim and Starfield.
These mods come from Bethesda itself (plus a squad of verified creators), and Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition includes more than 150 Creations ranging from unique weapons to all-new quests.

Upgrading to the Anniversary Edition of Fallout 4 is way more convoluted than it needs to be. To put it simply, there are three versions of Fallout 4 on sale right now.

Creations Bundle
If you already own Fallout 4 and its expansions, all you need to buy is the $20 Creations Bundle to get all the new content from the Anniversary Edition. If you have the DLC, do not buy the $40 Anniversary Edition Upgrade. It’ll charge you for the expansions again. That option is for people who only own the base game.
Fallout 4 Creations Quests, Items, and Companions

Fallout 4 Anniversary Edition comes with 150+ Creations, but some of them are admittedly not too exciting. I hope you like dozens of Pip-Boy and power armor paint jobs!
