Ahead of the scheduled release of the next Fallout 4 expansion, Nuka-World, Bethesda has released a new patch to allow support for it. The patch, which is labeled as Update 1.7, is currently available for the PC and Xbox One only, but with the PlayStation 4 set to receive it next week.

Aside from the Nuka-World support, the new patch also features a new store art type for Workshop settlements. The PS4 release will also come with the ability for players to delete add-ons without doing a full uninstall. Numerous fixes are also contained in the patch, such as for the problem with "Quartermastery" sending players to erroneous locations, for the player animations not loading properly after a saved game reload, and for the companions having unequipped clothing when fast traveling with the player. On the mods front, the patch also offers fixes to issues such as with sneaking turning players invisible while running with mods. Of course, the PS4 still has no mod support, so the mod-specific fixes and changes are only available for the PC and Xbox One.

Here's a rundown of Update 1.7:

It was released worldwide back in November 2015 to massive success, both critically and financially. The game follows the main character (you) who explores a post-apocalyptic world after emerging from a vault.
