Fallout 4’s official mod portal drew 50 times more traffic on Xbox One than on PC

I guess y’all wanted some mods on your consoles after all.

Fallout 4 publisher Bethesda revealed today that the launch of mods on Xbox One had 50 times more traffic than the initial launch on PC. This means that the Xbox One mods section on Bethesda.net had 50 times more clicks than the PC channel during their respective launches. Mods are community-created add-ons that can change the way a game works, and they’re a huge part of extending the life of releases like Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Except, up until this point, mods were exclusively available on PC because of the open nature of the Windows platform. Bethesda, with the hopes of keeping more fans playing Fallout 4 for a longer period of time, decided to build this from the start with mod support in mind. That enabled it to make its own Bethesda.net portal, where community developers can submit their creations and where players can get mods for their Xbox One or PC copy of Fallout 4.
