You Paid for Fallout 4 DLC – Here’s How Bethesda Broke It (And Why Playstation Can't Fix It)

After the Fallout 4 Anniversary, a lot of PlayStation players discovered something alarming: DLC they already paid for no longer works, no longer installs, or no longer loads saves at all.

This video explains how that can happen, and why, once it does, PlayStation players are basically stuck waiting.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve spent hours digging into this issue myself. I’ve read hundreds of comments on my own videos, gone through long Reddit threads, checked PlayStation support posts, watched other creators, and compared reports across PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC.

What this video is not:

A checklist pretending there’s a fix that works for everyone
A “just reinstall it” tutorial
Blind outrage without evidence

What this video is:

An explanation of how paid DLC can become detached from ownership
Why license restores, reinstalls, and updates fail so often
Why disc owners are hit especially hard
Why PlayStation players can’t roll back updates
-And why this problem sits between Bethesda and Sony, not the player

If you lost DLC, saves, or paid content after the update, this isn’t because you did something wrong. In many cases, the entitlement chain itself is broken, and players don’t have access to fix that on their end.

If something changes, or a fix appears that actually works consistently, I’ll cover it immediately. Until then, clarity matters more than false hope.

If you’re affected, leave a comment with your platform and version so patterns can be tracked. And if this helped you understand what’s happening, consider sharing it so other players don’t waste hours blaming themselves.
