Fallout 76, the popular online game from Bethesda, has just received a new hotfix update in May 2025. This small but important update helps fix several bugs that were affecting players during the ongoing In Bloom seasonal event. The update is now live and available for all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The game first came out in 2018 and had a rough start, but since then, Bethesda has worked hard to improve it. Over time, the game has added new missions, events, and bug fixes. Many players are still enjoying the game in 2025. This hotfix shows that the developers are still listening to player feedback and want to keep the game fun and smooth for everyone.
One of the biggest fixes in the update is related to a mission called “The Catalyst.” Some players were stuck and couldn’t continue the story. Thanks to this hotfix, they can now go to Fort Atlas and start a new mission called “Forging Trust” to move forward in the questline.
The hotfix also improves the game’s stability during the In Bloom event, which is happening right now. Some players were being disconnected while using the Ammo Storage Box, and this issue has been fixed too. Now, players can enjoy the event without worrying about sudden disconnections.
This update comes after a bigger patch that was released on April 22, 2025. That update improved weapons, armor, and added new ways to complete event challenges. Players can now take part in Mini Seasons, which make it easier to track goals and earn rewards. Bethesda is clearly working hard to keep Fallout 76 fresh and exciting.
Another cool thing that was added recently is the option to become a Ghoul in the game. This is a big change, as players can now turn their character into a Ghoul and even change back if they want. Also, a fishing feature is being tested by some players, which has been a highly requested addition for a long time.
Even though the May 6 update is a small hotfix, it brings important changes that help the game run better. Fixing quest bugs and connection problems shows that Bethesda cares about the players and wants to give them the best experience possible.
If you’re a fan of Fallout 76, make sure to download the latest update and check out the In Bloom event. With new missions, better performance, and fun events, there’s a lot to explore in the Wasteland this season.
