The Bethesda Mods Debacle
Back at E3 2015, Fallout 4 pretty much stole the show, and the announcement that both the Xbox One and PS4 would be getting mod support was even more exciting for fans. While Todd Howard said that the feature was a timed exclusive to the Xbox One at the time, it was all set to make its way to the PS4 at a later date.
Months after the feature arrived on the Xbox One in May, Bethesda shared a blog post stating that the feature wouldn’t be coming to the PS4 due to issues with Sony that could not be resolved. Though Sony and Bethesda managed to work together to get some form of mod support for Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition on the PS4, it didn’t allow for external assets, greatly limiting its potential on the system.
Exactly what issues Bethesda’s mods on PS4 faced in their original format remains to be seen, but the announcement certainly left many fans disappointed and angry at both Bethesda and Sony.
