Update: Microsoft has seized on the opportunity to go in on Sony, quickly publishing a series of tweets highlighting the Xbox One's mod support. PS4 players, it seems, will now be left out of the loop for good.

Modding is huge for Fallout - and Elder Scrolls -players, with the community contributing vast numbers of useful and superfluous upgrades on a regular basis. Yet Sony has consistently denied the modding update for Fallout 4, based on factors that Bethesda has not disclosed. Just a few weeks ago, the company said that PS4 mods were still ' under evaluation,' implying that little movement had been made on getting mod support running on the console. '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,' wrote the company.īethesda previously announced that it would bring modding to both Xbox One and PS4 versions of these games, but while Xbox One players of Fallout 4 have been altering the wasteland at their leisure for months now, PS4 players have been made to wait impatiently. These decisions were made not by Bethesda, according to a post, but Sony.

It’s not just Fallout 4 that is going mod-free on PS4, though The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Special Edition will also ship without previously promised mod support on the console. Bethesda Game Studios has given up on its fight to implement mods on the PlayStation 4 version of Fallout 4, the developer announced on its website.
