Fallout 4 finally gets full modding support (and horse armor!) on PC

One of the biggest releases of 2015 is getting one of the features that many PC players have wanted from the beginning.

Publisher Bethesda is updating its open-world survival role-playing game Fallout 4 today with a new beta that introduces support for community-created mods. The update works with the new Fallout 4 Creation Kit, which enables fans and players to build content for the game. This simplifies the process of empowering regular people to add new characters, weapons, quests, and much more to an already enormous game. And as people build content for the PC game, they can also upload it to Bethesda to get it sent out to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of Fallout 4 as well. This is the first time that a major big-budget release is getting support for modding on consoles, and it is something that could greatly increase long-term engagement for consoles in the $99.6 billion gaming industry.
