Skyrim Special Edition will render natively at 4K on PS4 Pro

Skyrim Special Edition will launch on Ocotber 28 supporting native 4K rendering on PS4 Pro, Bethesda has announced.

“The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever,” explained the publisher.

The PS4 Pro love will also be spread to Fallout 4, with an update set to be released at some point in the future.

“We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features,” added the Bethesda Blog post.

Bethesda also confirmed that Mods will be supported for both Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4, despite announcing this hadn’t been possible only last month. However, there will be some restrictions not found on PC or Xbox One.

“We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible,” explained Bethesda. “Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game.

“We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long. Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.”

Mods will be available for Skyrim Special Edition at launch, and will be added to Fallout 4 at a later date.
