In an unfortunate series of events, the long-awaited mod support for Fallout 4‘s PS4 version has been cancelled. The upcoming Skyrim Special Edition will also be affected by this decision. According to a statement on Bethesda’s website, Sony is to blame for the cancellation.
“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.”
For the past few months, mods for Fallout 4 have been available on Xbox One, and are reported to have had 50 times more traffic on the console than PC. Judging by the message, it looks as if Bethesda is anticipating the situation to change, for better or for worse.
