With the recent Fallout TV show finally airing after so many months of waiting, gamers are finally going back to the long-running franchise and taking a trip down memory lane as they revisit some of the classic titles that made the franchise popular in the first place.
One gamer has even gone so far as to compare one version of the Fallout franchise on both PlayStation and Xbox, as it seems that one console has a considerable upgrade compared to the other, and gamers are not happy about it.
Xbox Seems to Have the Edge on PlayStation, With One Fallout Game Having a Significant Upgrade
When it comes to gaming, players always look toward playing a game with some of the best stats that they can, whether they be faster frames per second, improved graphics, or even smaller game files, but thanks to one Twitter/X user, we know that Xbox has one step up compared to PlayStation.
I heard people saying you can play Fallout 3 on PS5, yes but through streaming and from the ps3 version which it’s 720p@30fps with jaggies 🤮

Also you can’t play without ps+ premium lol.
Now compare with the native Xbox version at 4K60Fps without subscribing to a cloud service. pic.twitter.com/w1DEnCOz8o
According to a recent post on Twitter/X by the user @astaranx, there is a very glaring difference between the two Fallout 3 versions that are available on PlayStation and Xbox, and these differences are making a big impact on those who are fans of the franchise.
From what we can see from the Twitter/X post, the PlayStation version of the game requires a live PS+ Premium subscription to even access the game, and even after accessing the game, it will only run a cloud version of the original game running at 720p with 30FPS.
The Xbox version of the game is considered a native version, which allows players to play the game at 4K60FPS while also avoiding the issue of a cloud service subscription, allowing players to enjoy the game at their own pace.
Gamers Are Rushing Back to Remember the Good Ol’ Days With Fallout
Whether you are a longtime fan of the franchise or only just had your first introduction, gamers around the world have been flocking to the franchise to find out why it is so unique and interesting to the point it led to its own TV show.
This is what led gamers like @astaranx to go back and look towards games like Fallout 3, as it is one of the classic versions of the game that has many different features that appear within the show as Easter eggs or actual moments in the show.
This isn’t the first time that gamers have been let down by an old game coming into the new generation of consoles, but with no visual upgrades to boast about. Luckily, Xbox has managed to keep the gaming community interested as it continues to bring back classic games with a graphical overhaul to boot, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.
What do you think about Fallout 3 arguably being worse on PlayStation than on Xbox? Are you a fan of the franchise, or have you only just jumped on the bandwagon? Let us know in the comments what you think!
