Bethesda Softworks has released Fallout 76 update version 1.02 (PS4) along with the PC and Xbox One. Here are the full set of patch notes.
Fallout 76’s second update is almost 48 GB on the PS4 and Xbox One. It is also available on PC but the download size is smaller compared to other platforms. This huge download size might make it seem like this is an important update, but the actual patch notes published by Bethesda Softworks show that the changelog is not that large compared to the update size.
As for what is included in Fallout 76 update version 1.02, most of it seems to be related to bug fixes and performance improvements.
