A loyal and talented fan community often keeps beloved games going for years. Most would believe their mods are a thing for PC players only, but they are available on your consoles as well.
“Mods” is the term for content modifiers and modifications created by amateur and enthusiast coders and gamers. They may range from slight visual changes to full-on overhauls, “expansions,” add-ons, features, and whatnot.
If you’re playing on Xbox, can you even mod your games? Can you customize your titles with user-created content? The short answer is “barely.” For a time, Xbox supported modding on the Xbox app, but that’s no longer the case.
And because modding is mostly a PC feature, Xbox console users are left without proper tools. And without these proper tools, we’re currently left with various high-profile games we can mod Minecraft and a couple of Bethesda titles.
Can You Install Mods On Xbox One And Xbox Series?
In 2020, Microsoft introduced a feature allowing users to mod games via the Xbox app for Windows PCs.
The process was simple. You had to access the app and check the details of a game’s page to see if it has mod support. The video below explains the point further.
However, the feature is no longer available. Microsoft rolled back the feature on a recent 2022 update. Only Microsoft Insiders or people using Xbox Developer kits would be able to mod games.
you may verify this is the case by checking the Xbox app yourself. For example, the game the video presents (Farming Simulator 17) has mod support on the video but no mode support in its current state.
Sadly, the best method to mod games on Xbox was to find mod-supported games via the Xbox app. That’s no longer the case, so modding games on Xbox One and Xbox Series is very limited.
The Xbox doesn’t feature natural support for mods or modders. You wouldn’t even find support for heavily modded games such as Skyrim or Fallout 4 – but we can find the support elsewhere.
Without official support from Microsoft, you have to rely on third-party tools or the studios themselves. This is why modding games on Xboxlargely depends on the game you intend to mod.
So, because we couldn’t find a solution for all games, we’re offering you a solution that works for three specific games:Minecraft, Skyrim, and Fallout 4.
Most fans start their modding journey in one of these games. Another highly modded game isDragon Age: Origins, but we could not find a way to mod Bioware games on Xbox.
