Linked Steam Accounts Are Now Required To Upload Fallout 4 Console Mods
In an effort to combat piracy, such as cracking down on unauthorized uploads, Bethesda is now requiring mod creators to link their Steam accounts when transferring Fallout 4 PC mods to consoles.
This extra measure came into effect with Fallout 4's recent title update. Now, when you access Bethesda.net to upload mods to consoles, your Steam account must first be verified. Mod support on consoles currently only extends to Xbox One, however PlayStation 4 support is soon to come.
At this year's E3, Bethesda announced that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim remaster will also receive mod support on consoles. You can find out more about how mods work on Fallout 4 via consoles here. The release of console mod support for Fallout 4 was a huge success for Bethesda, generating 50 times more traffic than the title's release on PC.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
