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. The developer and publisher added: "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. “Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.In a post on the company's blog, Bethesda said: "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."īethesda places the blame for the decision entirely at Sony's feet. “We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long,” says Bethesda.

Previously, Bethesda said that “Sony has informed us they will not approve user mods the way they should work,” hence the cancellation. Today, however, the developer says that both games will be getting support for mods on Sony’s console.

A month ago, Bethesda announced that it was abandoning plans to add mod support to the PS4 versions of Fallout 4 and the upcoming remastered version of Skyrim.
