Bethesda: Sony has blocked Fallout, Skyrim mods on PS4

Bethesda has taken to its blog to announce that Sony has blocked Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim mods on the PS4.

“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,” the post begins.

“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.”

As with news of Xbox Live’s superior network, Microsoft has already fired shots at Sony over the revelation.

We’ll ask Sony for comment on Monday.
