Good news! Sony finally reversed its earlier decision to exclude PlayStation 4 players from the sweet goodness of modding. The road to a better, more thrilling ride with Bethesda’s “Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” and “Fallout 4” is open again.
The news came from the same source that broke players’ hearts regarding Sony’s refusal to allow modding on its console some time ago; Bethesda’s website. According to a blog post by the company, PS4 players are set to get the ability to make some changes with the two games via mods.
“We’re excited to announce that mod support is coming to PlayStation 4 for both Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4,” the post reads. “Additionally, we’ll also be supporting the new PlayStation 4 Pro with both titles.”
Perhaps more than the first part of that statement, the latter section is a particularly exciting development for those who are in the know regarding how upgrading titles for new consoles work. Bethesda is basically devoting a lot of time and resources to deliver next-gen graphics on games that came out some time ago, which is astonishing even coming from such a huge company.
More than that, it would seem that both titles will also be upgraded to 4K resolution, which is simply astonishing. Even fan favorite CD Projekt Red is hesitant to convert their hit video game “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt” to 4K, and this is a company that has a stellar record of servicing customers.
As Business Insider was quick to point out, however, only existing assets in the games will be available for import to the PS4. This means that players will only be able to use mods that make changes to things that are native to both “Skyrim” and “Fallout 4.”
Some examples of things that are allowed include different colored swords or clothes, or some texture changes. Examples of mods that are not allowed include reskinned dragons to look like Thomas the Tank Engine or anything that’s not a dragon.
