Ahead of a private beta for the feature in Fallout 4 in June, it was revealed that mod files for Sony's console had a maximum size of 900MB, compared to 2GB on Xbox One. Issues had previously arisen with bringing mods to PS4 though. Just two days ago, Bethesda's Pete Hines told Metro that 'we absolutely, positively want to get PS4 mods out as fast as humanely possible'. The decision on Sony's part appears to have been a recent one. 'We will provide an update if and when this situation changes.' 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.
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.
