Fallout 76 Mods Might Not Arrive Until November 2019

3.2
With all the new footage and details floating around for Bethesda’s Fallout 76, it only makes sense to hear more about mod support. This is a feature that’s been integral to games like The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim and Fallout 4. Unfortunately, it seems that Fallout 76’s mods could take some time to finally release.

Speaking to GameSpot, Bethesda’s Pete Hines first revealed that mods would only run on private servers. Don’t expect to see public servers running them anytime soon after launch.

“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,” said Hines.

“I don’t foresee a universe in which we allow players to come in [to Fallout 76’s public servers] with their own unique and different mods. If you want to run mods, they’ll have to be done on a private server. You’ll be deciding what sort of mods you’re including and running, and everyone playing on that server is playing with those mods.”

The real kicker is that mods may take as long as November 2019 to arrive. “It’s going to be a lot of work. But mods and private servers are definitely coming.” Skyrim players didn’t have to wait very long for mod support while Fallout 4 admittedly took six months for the same. The real question now is how long Xbox One and PS4 players will have to wait to use mods in Fallout 76.

Fallout 76 releases on November 14th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Those who pre-order can access the beta (which contains the full game) on October 23rd for Xbox One and October 30th for PS4 and PC.

That's a good length of time away, and it makes sense. It will bring some new life into the game in 2019 depending on what other content updates come out, but I feel like it will be worth the wait.

That's kinda stinky but overall not a big deal, would much rather have plenty of time to vest through the Wasteland than jump right into mods.

Pretty sad news in my opinion as this would be a fun aspect of the game missing out for about a year

I was going to say that I would imagine these mods would be cosmetic only until I read that they will only run on private servers, which is good news. I'm curious about server pricing then. To me it sounds like it is going to be a similar system to Battlefield's server rentals.
