Start stockpiling clean water and non-irradiated foodstuffs: survival mode is now live in Fallout 4's console versions. Update 1.5 rolled out on PS4 and Xbox One right on schedule, bringing the all-new alternative game mode and a host of other updates and tweaks to console players a week after they hit PC.

Bethesda also revealed that it has sent out invites for beta access to the Far Harbor DLC expansion. There's a lot to explore, so you'll want to get started early. Everybody else can start playing Far Harbor when it's officially released on May 19.
