Note: In my opinion, instead of relying solely on console commands, you should try using them as tools to experiment with new strategies and gameplay styles.

In conclusion, console commands empower players, granting them the ability to tailor their experience within the expansive universe. Whether it’s customizing gameplay elements or activating cheats, these commands provide an unmatched depth of personalization. However, prudent use is advised to ensure a seamless journey across the Settled Systems of Starfield.

How To Use Console Commands In Starfield

Command Terminal (picture credits: eXputer)

Console commands are a set of instructions that players can input to alter various aspects of the game.

To utilize console commands, you first need to access the command console. Follow the steps I’ve listed below:

On a PC, you can easily open this console by pressing the “@” key.
Another way I suggest is to bring up the command console by pressing the key located just below the ‘ESC’ key on the top left-hand corner of the keyboard.
Depending on your keyboard type, this will either be the Grave (`) key on UK keyboards or the Tilde (~) key on US keyboards.

Upon opening the console, a pop-up menu will appear where you can input your desired commands. It’s essential to note that when entering these commands, you don’t have to worry about capitalizing any letters. Starfield’s console commands are not case-sensitive, making it easier and more user-friendly.

Important: Once you’ve entered your chosen command, simply press the ‘Enter’ key to apply it. If you wish to input another command, just type it in and press ‘Enter’ again.

Explore a wide range of console commands in Starfield for modifying and controlling the game’s universe. These commands empower players to manipulate the environment, activate cheats, and control various elements within Starfield. Whether toggling God mode, spawning items, or altering gameplay elements, these commands offer a deeper level of customization. Exercise caution when using them, as glitches or crashes may occur.

For Example: Commands like “tgm” enable God Mode, making your character invincible with unlimited ammo, while “player.additem” allows you to add specific items to your inventory in Starfield.

However, while these commands provide a deeper customization level and can enhance your experience in Starfield, it’s crucial to exercise caution. Inputting certain commands can occasionally result in glitches, crashes, or other in-game issues. As a safety measure, I recommend you always save your progress before experimenting with any console commands.
