Fallout 76 releases next month and from the looks of it there won’t be any official mod support at launch. As Pete Hines told Gamespot, the game will not support mods at least until December 2019, and the supported mods will only be available on private servers.
As Pete Hines said:
“Mod support is going to be tied to work that we’re also doing on private servers, and letting people do private servers. Mods will be a thing that run on private servers.”
Hines added that the public servers will not support mods, and that in private servers you’ll be deciding what sort of mods you’re including and running, and everyone playing on that server will be playing with those mods.
Still, it will take more than a year in order for Fallout 76 to support mods and that’s something that will definitely put off a number of players. After all, Bethesda’s games have been well known for their crazy mods.
Hines concluded that it will take a lot of work but mods and private servers will be coming to Fallout 76!

If its lucky 76 is the Metacritic score it will get.
??Country roads, no more mods, online only, no npcs either, TODD HOWARD IS AN A$$HOLE, country roads??
Mods are the enemy of predatory microtransactions and dlc. The real reason for the conversion of sp to online mp is injected monetization garbage since paid mods and their creation club were met with backlash. Same reason COD got rid of their sp.
Not the same reason. Treyarch just decided not to do any SP instead of another crappy campaign like BO3.
Pretty much. Though im sure if this proves to be a succes we can say goodbye to Elder Scrolls.
A lot of mods are much more robust and thought out than official dlcs are. Mods are a threat/reminder of Bethesda’s lack of care and shoddy effort
they want you to buy mods always have.
To be fair, the game supporting private servers at all is already less cancerous than I was expecting.
Yeah, that suprised me as well
it would be great if it supported npcs as well.
I’ll play the other ones then. Almost 2020 for mods? Are they trying to kill Nexus?
The answer is yes. I’m sure they’ll tie mods to creation club only when they allow them.
Only when it comes to stiffing devs on their paycheck.
well, there goes rps for the sake of action games.
if starfield is fallout in space, some great mods could be made, if its like flop 76 and its online only, i dont care.
nah I won’t see this hitting past 60 in user score.
That’s why the user score on Metacritic is worthless.
I know, though I’m sure Bethesda had SocJus infected in them following Wolfenstein 2 and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. Oh and F76 apparently has SocJus elements in it following the Overseer’s speech in the intro talking about “every race, gender and creed”, too.
Like, I don’t go actively searching for “SJW elements” like Dave Cullen and No Bullshit and claim “everything is SJW” but I know SocJus BS when it’s there.
Yeah, things were better when all games assumed the player was a virginal wannabe hetrosexual white guy.
You know this game will be a hit and you’ll play it while b***hing on DSOG.
I only play Tertis . Get on my level noob.
A lot of people just buy whatever is the top selling game on Steam. Some people just have more money than sense.
No sloots?
I half expected them to use this game under the rationale of ‘multiplayer game’ to cut out the mod freeware and finally implement the micro-transaction store that they really want. This is a little better so far, but I’m still cautious.
