“Fallout 4” PS4 Version Gets Mods: It Comes With Update 1.8, See The Changes

Bethesda Game Studios has released mods for "Fallout 4" PS4 version. It was reported that the Bethesda was trying to release the mods before, but Sony was blocking it from PS4. The fans of Fallout 4 were also requesting to get the mods for a long time. Now, it is reported that even PS4 Pro also would receive mods for the Pro version of the game with the next update.

Interestingly, after several disputes, in October Bethesda and Sony came to an agreement to implement mods for the game and Skyrim: Special Edition. But, Sony has made sure that only limited mods are made available to both of the games and hence the gamers of Fallout 4 would find fewer mods comparing to PC and Xbox versions. It should be noted that the mods for Fallout 4 in PC and Xbox were made available months back.
