To understand why mods on consoles are inevitable, you need to look closely at Steam Workshop it’s too easy to forget how important this development was in making modding mainstream. We live in the future now, and although time has not yet granted us flying cars, it has given us Steam Workshop and Skyrim. Although The PlayStation 3 version of Unreal Tournament 3 has the honour of being the first game to allow mods on consoles, that oft-forgotten experiment was an artefact of a different time.
There's been a lot of cynicism about this bold initiative, but it's unwarranted. It's happening: Fallout 4 is bringing modding to consoles, perhaps as early as May for Xbox One, with PS4 to follow shortly thereafter. We will provide an update if and when this situation changes.Fallout 4 isn't the first game to bring mods to consoles, but it will be the first to popularise the system.
However, until Sony will allow us to offer proper mod support for PS4, that content for Fallout 4 and Skyrim on PlayStation 4 will not be available. We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience.
Like you, we are disappointed by Sony’s decision given the considerable time and effort we have put into this project, and the amount of time our fans have waited for mod support to arrive. Now, Bethesda has released a statement on their website that states that mod support won’t be coming to PS4 … and they lay the blame squarely on Sony:Īfter months of discussion with Sony, we regret to say that while we have long been ready to offer mod support on PlayStation 4, Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work: where users can do anything they want for either Fallout 4 or Skyrim Special Edition.
While the Xbox One version of Fallout 4 has been enjoying mod support for a few months now, the PS4 version has yet to receive the same support. Bethesda announced plans earlier this year to allow user-created mods on the console version of Fallout 4 and the upcoming remaster of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
