The beta version of patch v1.5 for Fallout 4, Bethesda’s latest open-world action-RPG, has been released on Steam. The patch adds the overhauled Survival Mode difficulty to the game (which has already been in beta on Steam for a while) and fixes a number of bugs with the game. Here’s the full changelog:
