This announcement comes after disappointment in September when Bethesda told fans that mods would not be coming to the PS4 due to restrictions from Sony.

“We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible,” the announcement said. Fallout 4 is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Bethesda said that they will update Fallout 4 with mods and PS4 pro after work on Skyrim is completed.

“We are excited to finally get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long,” the announcement said. Additionally both games will be supported on the PlayStation 4 Pro when it releases. The two companies are also talking through issues with importing textures from to PS4 and Sony’s proprietary audio format that are causing separate issues.Bethesda announced on its website that mods for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition are coming to PlayStation 4. Bethesda says it is working with Sony to increase that limit. The Xbox One enables mods up to 2GB in size. Sony has put a 900MB limit on uploaded mods from community members using the creation kit. But while it was the under-powered PS3 hardware that caused troubles last generation, it is Sony software and policy that is the issue this time around. The PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim was infamous for its technical problems, and Bethesda spent months after the debut trying to fix its poor frame-rate and numerous bugs. Bethesda does not want to screw up the upgrade of its best-selling game ever, so expect it to do everything it can to sort out its PS4 issues before the October 28 release date. Getting mods working on PS4 is likely a top priority for Bethesda since it is planning to release an updated version of its beloved fantasy adventure The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with the same feature.
