Fallout 4 Survival Mode gets more new features
These tweaks are coming out of the beta release which was put out on PC last week, and Bethesda is already making changes in reponse to how it has been received. From the list of updates below it seems like balancing is a major part of the beta test, as elements like how much food you have to eat to stay healthy have been changed to a lower amount. It's interesting to note that while some elements have become more forgiving, others have also been made harsher, suggesting that players want a challenge but one that feels like it responds to some rules of reality.
See the list of changes below. Survival Mode will arrive on consoles when the PC beta testing is complete.
