It’s worth noting that all Starfield console commands will have an effect on the player or the world around them, and sometimes,this can be a dangerous process. It’s recommended to create a separate save file before embarking on this dangerous crusade down the path of a digital god to activate what is essentially Starfield cheats.
How To Open Starfield Command Console
Like most games on PC, the command console can be accessed if players hit the Tilde (~) key, which is the universal symbol on American English keyboards. However, for other players, it might be the Grave (`) key. Some players have reported that the Starfield command console key is the at sign (@).
Once the command console key has been pressed, the game will stop as if it has been paused, and players will have opened what seems to be a text box on the bottom half of the screen. Upon the first activation, players will receive a warning that some console commands may count as cheats that will disableall achievements inStarfield, so it’s worth keeping that in mind before proceeding, and, as usual, creating a backup save.
