'Fallout 4' mods release date, updates: prospects of PS4 mod support feature are bleak

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) mods for "Fallout 4" continue to be the subject of many discussions. Now that Bethesda Softworks has rolled out an update for the game, the feature is once again the talk of the town.

PS4 gamers continue to hope for the mods to be released for the console. Bethesda itself is finding ways to make that possible, according to the company's vice president Pete Hines, who answers questions about the PS4 mods almost on a daily basis via Twitter.

He recently said that they are looking for "alternatives" to be able to release the "Fallout 4" PS4 mods, but nothing concrete has been implemented yet.

Sony did not approve of the "Fallout 4" PS4 mods "the way they should work," which practically allows players to do "anything they want" on the game.

Bethesda promised that they will find ways to still be able to roll out the feature as they themselves worked hard for it, and they know that gamers have been waiting for it for months now. However, it appears that no workaround has been found yet.

"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," Bethesda wrote on its blog.

"We consider this an important initiative and we hope to find other ways user mods can be available for our PlayStation audience," it added.

The studio recently released update 1.17.22 for "Fallout 4" to the PC with the Xbox One version coming soon. The update primarily addresses the issue wherein the mods do not show up.

Unfortunately for those who have been wanting to see bigger mods, the patch does not increase the mod limit for the Microsoft console as what fans were hoping.
