Bethesda Game Studios released details about their first three add-ons to Fallout 4 – called Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, and Far Harbor – as well as plans for more in the future.
The add-ons range in price from $4.99 USD to $24.99 USD, and the season pass for DLC will rise from $29.99 USD to $49.99 USD on March 1. However, everyone who purchases the season pass before March 1 will still get access to all the DLC for $29.99.
Bethesda will also be running closed betas for all the add-ons for consoles and PC; participants will be selected from registered users on Bethesda.net in the upcoming weeks. Reportedly, the betas will be “the full version (complete with achievements) and those participating will not have to purchase the add-on.”
The studio also assured players that they will continue to offer free updates to the game, such as the recent additions of weapon debris for PC and increased draw distances for consoles, “as well as more optimizations to gameplay and quests” and a “complete overhaul of Survival Mode.” Bethesda is also continuing work on a Creation Kit which will allow players to create and play mods for free.
Details on the three announced add-ons, including prices, are quoted below.
