Alright, let’s talk about this Fallout London thing. I got pretty excited when I first saw stuff about it, looked like a proper big addition, you know? A whole new world, London, sounded ace. My first thought was, “Okay, gotta get this on my PS5.”
So, I did what anyone would do. Fired up the PlayStation, went straight to the store. Typed in “Fallout London”. Searched… and searched… nothing popped up. That felt a bit weird. Like, all this hype online, videos everywhere, but it’s not on the store? Okay, maybe it’s hidden somewhere, or maybe it’s just not out yet for console?
Next step, grabbed my phone. Started digging online. “Fallout London PS5 cost”, “Fallout London PlayStation release date”, stuff like that. Found loads of articles talking about how cool it looked, the team behind it, all that jazz. But actual buying info? Price for PS5? Nada. Zilch. It was all very… vague. Lots of talk, no actual product page link for consoles.
I started thinking, maybe it’s an expansion pack for Fallout 4? Like Far Harbor or Nuka-World? Makes sense, right? So, back to the PS5 store I went. Pulled up Fallout 4, went to the add-ons section. Scrolled through everything. All the usual suspects were there, Creation Club bits, the season pass stuff. But no Fallout London. Not listed anywhere.
Hitting a Wall
This was getting a bit confusing. Why talk about it so much if you can’t actually buy it, especially on console? I spent a good bit just clicking around, feeling like I was missing something obvious. It felt like everyone else knew what was going on except me.
Then I landed on some forums, Reddit maybe? Saw people asking similar questions. And that’s where it clicked. Someone spelled it out plain and simple.
- It’s a mod. Not official DLC, not a standalone game. A massive, ambitious mod made by fans for Fallout 4.
- It’s for PC. Primarily, maybe exclusively.
Suddenly it all made sense. The reason I couldn’t find it on the PlayStation Store? The reason there was no PS5 price? Because it wasn’t being sold for PS5. It probably can’t be on PS5, not easily anyway.
The Real Deal About Mods and PS5
See, mods on PlayStation are tricky. Sony has rules, stricter than on PC. They don’t like external assets – new models, textures, scripts, the kind of stuff that makes a big mod like Fallout London what it is. Fallout 4 on PS5 has mods, yeah, but they’re mostly smaller tweaks using stuff already in the game. Nothing on the scale of London.
So, the “cost” for Fallout London on PS5? It’s basically zero, because the product, in that form, doesn’t exist. You can’t buy it. You can’t download it. It’s a PC thing.
To play it, you need:
- A copy of Fallout 4 on PC.
- Probably all the official DLCs for Fallout 4 on PC too.
- Then you download the Fallout London mod itself, which the creators are releasing for free.
So, yeah. Bit of a journey just to figure that out. Got my hopes up thinking I’d be wandering post-apocalyptic London on my comfy couch with the PS5 controller. Turns out, not happening anytime soon, if ever. The actual cost isn’t money for the mod itself, it’s needing the base game on the right platform (PC) and realising it’s not built for the console ecosystem I use. A bit disappointing, but hey, at least I know what the deal is now. No point checking the PS Store for it anymore.
