As for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gamers, they need to at least have 28 to 35GB of free space on their consoles to run the game properly. As noted by the developer, the actual size of the game depends on their location and the languages supported, Gamespot reported.

The studio also noted that once the game arrives on November 10, its digital version will unlock at 12:01 am EST for North America. It will be available in Asia at 12:00 am on November 11 and on December 17 for Japan.

As for the other regions, the game will be available at 12:01 am local time on November 10.

With the game's release only about a month away, Bethesda still refuses to give out details regarding its story line. So far, the only detail confirmed about the game is its setting, which is 200 years after nuclear fallout. The game will also feature various locations including Boston, Massachusetts and certain areas of New England.

According to Pete Hines, the vice president of Bethesda, the studio decided to remain tight-lipped regarding the content of the game to avoid spoiling anything for gamers.

"I would be stunned if we said anything else about the story ever again [prior to launch]," he told IGN. "We're going to let everybody experience that in the game as much as possible. But there are certain trade-offs you have to make to build some amount of awareness to what the game is offering, so you're willing to make some sacrifices."
