Sony isn’t allowing Fallout and Skyrim mods on PS4

Bethesda just posted that after working on Fallout 4 mods and having them ready, Sony would not approve them for PlayStation 4

The mod situation on consoles has been interesting with Fallout 4 recently and PlayStation 4 Fallout 4 owners have been waiting for them. Sadly it seems Sony will not approve them. You can read the full statement by Bethesda below:

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.

This is a blow for a lot of people who were interested in buying Skyrim on PlayStation 4 as it affects that game as well.
