Fallout 4 Mods Are Now In Open Beta On PC, Console Mods Coming Soon
Anyone playing Fallout 4 on PC can now begin browsing and using mods. Bethesda announced today that it has opened the beta process up to the entire community.
You’ll need Fallout 4 update 1.5, which you can download via Steam. You’ll need to enable the beta setting using these steps, though:
- Log into Steam
- Right Click on Fallout 4 in your Library
- Select Settings
- Select Betas
- A drop down menu will appear. Select beta
- Select OK
- Wait a few minutes and Fallout 4 should update
- When done, Fallout 4 should appear as Fallout 4 [Beta] in your Library
The mod option will appear in game, and you’ll be able to see what others have created. If you want to give it a go yourself, the Fallout creation kit is available as a free download on Bethesda’s site.
Mods will be coming to Xbox One in May and PlayStation 4 in June. For more on Fallout 4, check out our review.
Correction: We originally had the wrong launch window for Xbox One mods. We've made the correction and apologize for the error.
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.
Thank you.
