All Starfield console commands: Every cheat code

❘ Published: 2023-10-13T10:24:40

Bethesda

Many of Bethesda’s games have had a set of console commands and Starfield is no different. These commands range from cheat codes to ways to mess with the game’s systems, so here’s a list of all the console commands in Starfield.

Starfield lets players customize many aspects of their playthroughs. From the character creator to relationships and even critical story decisions, the game lets players take control in numerous ways.

Starfield also allows players to utilize a set of cheat codes and manually modify its systems. This can be done by using console commands that can grant players invincibility, make them infinitely rich, and let them tweak the cameras however they see fit.

On that note, here’s how you can enable the command console in Starfield and a list of all console commands and their effects.

How to enable command console in Starfield

To open the command console in Starfield, you need to enter “developers mode” by pressing the @ key or the ~ key on some American keyboard models. It is usually located below the Esc key on every keyboard.

Once the command console drops on top of the screen, you will be able to enter the codes listed below.

The console commands allow you to experiment but keep in mind that some can break the game.

Remember that activating some console commands will disable the achievements on Steam. So, if you are trying to complete the achievement list, we recommend you do it without using these commands.

Keep in mind that many of the above-mentioned commands may cause unexpected game crashes and performance issues, so use them at your own risk.

If you’re into game design or programming and still want to use those commands, simply drop the console while targeting objects, NPCs, and other structures in the game to find their appropriate ID to generate later.

That’s a wrap on all Starfield console commands. If you found this information useful, you can also check out our other Starfield guides and pro tips below:
