Earlier this year, Bethesda announced plans to allow mods for Fallout 4and the upcoming Skyrim remaster on PS4 and Xbox One. It now looks like one of those platforms is ruled out.

In an update on their website today, Bethesda said that Sony won’t allow it:

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.

What the fukk why? Sony also blocked developers from releasing games in progress as well. For example, microsoft have a dozen titles with no official release but can be bought and tested while in production.

Sony also blocked EA Accces too.

And people keep asking me why I think Microsoft is now on a better path once Mattrick was thrown out.

Sony also blocked EA Accces too.

I've never understood why, £25 a year for a whole bunch of decent games. Sony need to get it together

Who cares? Skyrim old as hell anyway. I support Sony's decision.

Allow a ton of indie freedom in publishing games on the PS4, but not this?

 

[GlitchieBeats]

As much as they've been hacked I honestly don't blame them

 

[Prince Akeem]

I can understand why some would be upset by this but at the same time I could care less.

Also add that Sony could potentially charge for Ps4 Pro "updates" for existing games
