Starfield allows players to use console commands, a form of cheat that allows players to do anything from increasing their level to giving themselves a million credits.
Console commands have been a staple of PC gaming for a while, allowing players to cheat their way to the top and give themselves a huge advantage.
Fortunately, fans can use console commands in Bethesda’s latest RPG. But how do you use them, and what are the best ones to start with?
How to Use Console Commands in Starfield
To use console commands in Starfield, follow these instructions:
- Press the ` key to open the console
- It is located above Tab.
- Type or copy and paste a command into the console
- Press enter to activate the command
- Close the console by pressing the ` key again
It is important to note that using console commands in Starfield will disable achievements entirely from that specific save.
Additionally, using console commands is exclusive to the PC version of Starfield. You cannot use console commands on Xbox.
