Xbox One To Support Mods? 'It's Up To Developers' Says Major Nelson

4.6
In a first for Xbox, it looks likely that Xbox One will support mods.

Following news that any Xbox One can be used as a dev kit, it was asked on Reddit if this means the console would support mods.

"It's up to developers to support that," answered Microsoft's Major Nelson. "These are two very different things."

His answer suggests that the capacity for modding is there, if developers create games in a way that will support it.

Xbox and Xbox 360 didn't allow for mods but the recent Xbox One policy changes are positioning the new console to be the most open console Microsoft has made to date.

We're still doubtful we'll see mods on Xbox One titles but this is the closest Microsoft has come to allowing them to happen on its console.

It will be interesting to see what comes of the Xbox One in later on when people have gotten more used to it and begun working on their own things. I look forward to seeing how long it takes for a game to be modded. Call of Duty: Ghosts is a prime example of game that will be targeted by modders.

It will be a bad thing because if they do than more people will mod and they won't do anything about it

It would be great to see various mods for games on the Xbox One, it would open up much more content to the gaming community


I agree, it would be an amazing thing to do for the gaming community.


PC widely accepts mods on most games.


True, I used to play CoD 4 on PC which had mods installed on it.

It'd be great if mods were accepted, it open a doorway to developers and make a lot of games more fun! I hope they do :)

I am pretty sure they will allow mods, PC allows it,
I'm also hoping the add dedicated servers to Minecraft, so people can have there own server and add people to staff, would be a great feature.
