The game never tells you this item exists, I didn’t even see it in a tooltip, and you have to dig deep into the store to find it. I don’t know if this item appears from the very start, but talk to any normal vendor and it should be at the bottom of the materials list. This is uncomfortable, as you have to make choices about when it’s “worth it” or not to use a fast travel pack or whether you should just walk, but lo and behold, 12 hours into the game, I discovered that there’s an item that lets you fast travel infinitely like any normal open-world game. “Fallout 4” is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.One thing you’ll notice early on about Horizon Zero Dawn is that weirdly, the game’s fast travel system is consumable based, like we’re back in the days of Diablo Town Portal scrolls. This strict policy may indeed be why “Fallout 4” PS4 mods have yet to happen. Especially since the PSP wound up being one of the most exploited game consoles ever, Sony has been increasingly proactive about making sure its current systems are locked down from homebrew, emulators and content piracy. The PS4, on the other hand, remains an outlier because it runs a modified version of open-source BSD Linux.īecause Linux is such an open platform, the thought is that Sony wants to completely ensure that allowing “Fallout 4” mods on PS4 won’t open up avenues for hackers to explore the rest of the system’s architecture. Xbox One and PC both run versions of Windows, so it makes sense that the feature would come to Microsoft platforms first. The story relates to OS differences between consoles. One fan, however, has chosen to take those vague allusions one step further to create a theory as to why Sony has been treating mods so carefully. Studio producer Todd Howard told Newsweek in an E3 interview that there were issues regarding file size and developer permissions.

Hines has been dodgy about why the process has taken so long and has only mentioned that “other companies” are to blame. We don't have a date when eval will be done.- Pete Hines August 21, 2016 Because “Fallout 4” is the first PS4 game to feature mods, the venture must be fully evaluated by Sony before the public can use until evaluation is done there is no way to give a date.


21, Hines said, “until evaluation is done, there is no way to give a date.” He further added that “we don't have a date when eval will be done.” What’s essentially being discussed here was also outlined in our previous posts on the subject. When probed about the release date of PS4 mods on Aug. Fans on Reddit speculate that Sony’s OS may be the cause of the delay. “Fallout 4” PS4 mods remain troubled as Bethesda marketing VP Pete Hines recently tweeted about the feature’s unknown release date.
