PlayStation 4 Not Getting Mods For Fallout 4 Or Skyrim

After Xbox One owners got official mod support in Fallout 4 way back in May, PlayStation 4 owners have been awaiting the update to hit their system too. That is sadly now not going to happen.

Bethesda made a statement on the official Bethesda site explaining why mods are no longer happening on Sony's platform. It seems Sony won't allow mods to be approved the same way that Microsoft do and Bethesda aren't happy with whatever compromises would have to be put in place.

Because of this both Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition won't be getting mod support until Sony change their stance.

The full statement follows:

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.
