Console Commands are a useful feature for PC players, granting the ability to act as the game's creator. In Starfield, players can employ console commands to achieve mischievous objectives or expedite progress. The wide array of Starfield console commands offers various unique functions that have the potential to significantly alter the game's experience, either positively or negatively.
It is important to bear in mind that all Starfield console commands have repercussions for the player or the game world, and these consequences can sometimes be perilous. It is strongly advised to create a separate save file before embarking on this potentially hazardous journey as a virtual deity, utilizing what essentially equates to Starfield cheats.
How To Open Starfield Command Console
To access the command console in Starfield, players can press the Tilde (~) key on American English keyboards. However, on other keyboards, it may be the Grave (`) key or the at sign (@) as reported by some players. Once activated, the game will pause and a text box will appear on the lower half of the screen. It is important to note that using certain console commands may be considered cheats and will disable all achievements in Starfield. Therefore, players should proceed with caution and consider making a backup save beforehand.
Now that the game console is accessible, players can initiate the entry of any available console commands in Starfield. These inputted codes are not affected by letter case, but they are sensitive to spaces, hence it is crucial for players to accurately reproduce them in order to execute successfully.

Starfield offers a vast selection of console commands, however, not all of them are relevant to players and thus are not included here. The remaining console commands primarily involve scripting related to the physics engine and other technical aspects, which may only serve to confuse players rather than enhance their gaming experience.
All the above mods will assist players in various ways, particularly those dissatisfied with Starfield's default handling of carry weight or their traits and attributes. Starfield has plenty to offer, and the console commands are a crucial part of the experience.
Players should remember that console commands have the power to enhance or disrupt gameplay. Some may view the best console commands as cheats, as they can make the game easier. However, as an RPG, this game allows players to play however they choose, even if that involves using console commands. It's important for players to maintain backup saves, as tinkering with console commands can be risky when exploring a vast universe.
Starfield is now available for PC and Xbox Series X/S.
