Fallout 4 Achievement Issues

Playing a game without earning achievements can feel a bit hollow, can’t it? According to TrueAchievements.com, Fallout 4 achievements on Xbox have hit a snag. Since the end of March, not a single player has been able to unlock an achievement in the RPG.

The last time anyone unlocked a Fallout 4 achievement, including DLC, was on March 30th, according to achievement data website. Reports of this issue have been increasing since then, coinciding with the release of Amazon’s new Fallout TV show.

Bethesda has acknowledged the problem in a post on their support page:

What do I do if a trophy or achievement is not unlocking in fallout 4? - (source)

We are currently investigating an issue where achievements are failing to unlock for Fallout 4 on Xbox.

If you would like to be notified when this article has been updated, log into the website and select “Subscribe to Article” at the bottom ofthis page.


If you have a trophy or achievement that did not unlock, check that you completed everything that needs to be accomplished in order to unlock the trophy. There are often several specific things that need to occur for a trophy to unlock.

  • Networking or connection issues may delay the appearance of your trophy or achievement. If you don’t see the trophy or achievement appear immediately, it may arrive at a later date.
  • It may also be an issue where your trophy / achievement list has not synced. To verify this, sign out of your Xbox/PSN/Steam account entirely, reboot your console and sign back into your account from the main screen.

If you are positive that you have completed everything necessary and refreshing did not resolve the issue, you will need to do re-attempt the trophy/achievement.

Please note that Bethesda Customer Support does not have the ability to unlock trophies or achievements.

If the issue persists, contactMicrosoft Support,PlayStation Support, orSteam Support.
