In a post announcing mods were coming to PS4 after all, Bethesda made it clear you cannot upload external assets with PlayStation 4 mods. External assets can be used for Xbox One, but not PS4 This limit highlights the major difference between the two versions. “Note on Mods: For Skyrim Special Edition, Mods will reserve 5 GB and 1 GB of space on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, respectively.” But there is one significant difference.īethesda recently updated a FAQ highlighting again one of the key differences between mod support on the two consoles. We will provide an update if and when this situation changes.On Friday, Skyrim fans on console can see why the PC version of Skyrim still has more than 40,000 concurrent players nearly five years after its release. 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.
