Good news, PS4 and Xbox One owners. Thanks to the latest Fallout 4 patch, the console versions of the game are about on par with the PC version running on high.
The ever-meticulous Digital Foundry took a closer look at patch 1.03 and found that thanks to new tweaks, the draw distance on both Xbox One and PS4 has noticeably improved. In laymanās terms, this means you can see the game rendering objects at a farther distance, and as you play, thereās less of that sudden āpop-inā effect.
Some quick comparison shots:

There are some asterisks attached, of course. Frame rate still isnāt as good as it could be on both consoles, and shadows havenāt quite caught up, either. But, overall, Fallout 4 is looking better than it used to.
