Bethesda Says Skyrim and Fallout 4 Mods Not Allowed on PS4 by Sony

bethesda

Back on May 31st of this year, Bethesda delivered mods for Fallout 4 on the Xbox One. The goal was to offer mods for it and, afterward, the upcoming The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim remaster on both Xbox One and PS4. This was a move that console gamers very happy. However, it now seems PS4 owners will be left in the lurch.

Bethesda posted an update on their website today that says Sony won’t allow them to enable mods “the way they should work.” Sony has not commented on Bethesda’s statement as of yet.

Here is Bethesda’s full statement:

After 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.

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. We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience. 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 will provide an update if and when this situation changes.
