Bethesda games have had a long history of excellent cheats built right into the games on PC via console commands. I remember completing my playthrough of Skyrim and going you know what, I’m going to mess around now. I then used the console commands to make myself the best bow and set of arrows in the game, and went through a second playthrough absolutely one-shotting everything in sight Anything that moved, any NPC that annoyed me, arrow to the face. Plus god mode so they couldn’t take me down. And we’re happy to report that this still exists in their latest game so here’s a primer on all console commands in Starfield.

I personally wouldn’t recommend using these at all until you’ve at least played through the game once. They can really put a damper on how fun the game is by taking the challenge and sense of accomplishment right out. But if you’ve had your fill of Starfield and just want to mess around now, or maybe you just want a few more credits to speed things up, we’ve got you covered with this full list of currently known console commands for Starfield.
Full List of All Console Commands for Starfield
Though Players are still digging thorough the game and finding more console commands, the list is incredibly impressive as it is thus far. There is a huge amount you can already do and tweak with these console commands. RelationshipHuman136 on Reddit has done an amazing job of collating all the currently discovered console commands in to one place. Players may discover more commands in the weeks to come, but for now we have a pretty impressive table of console commands to use if you wish to do so. Simply head in-game in Starfield, and press the ~ key and you’ll bring up the command console. Type in your desired command and press enter and they’ll activate. When you open up the command console you’ll also be notified that using certain console commands will result in achievements being disabled, so keep that in mind as well!
WARNING – Use Console Commands at your own risk. There have been some reports of commands breaking game save data. I’d recommend backing up local save files for Starfield before using any commands.
