All Starfield console commands, cheats & how to use them

Console commands in Starfield are a great way to mix up your experience on PC — and from making yourself immortal, summoning new weapons, or reviving NPCs, there’s plenty that can be done with these cheats.

Bethesda has always offered a high degree of player freedom in their RPGs, evidenced by their continuous mod support for Skyrim, Fallout 4, and even mods for Starfield itself. Console commands offer fans another way to customize their experience, so here’s how you can use them in-game.

How to use console commands

To enable console commands in Starfield, you first have to press the tilde (~) key. At the touch of the button, Starfield will halt the action and open its console command display.

From there, it’s just a matter of typing in your desired code and pressing the enter key to trigger the effect.

Best console commands in Starfield

While the best commands will typically depend on the kind of experience you’d want in your Starfield playthrough, there are a handful that are particularly useful in any playthrough:

• unlock – Unlocks Doors and Containers. Great way to bypass any trickier locked doors without having to waste lockpicks.
• kah – If you want to get out of trouble quickly, this command will Eliminate all hostile NPCs in the area.
• player.additem 0000000f – Adds Credits to your inventory.
• psb – Immediately unlock all Player Spellbook powers.
• tim – Toggles Immortal Mode on. With it you can still take damage but your HP will never hit 0.
• tgm – Activates God Mode. You won’t take any damage, and you’ll have access to infinite ammo.
• resurrect – Revives NPCs. Handy if you lose any allies during a firefight.

Enabling achievements

Console commands will typically disable Achievements as your save file will be a unique modded one, but the fanmade Achievement Enabler mod bypasses this by preventing your save from being marked as modded.

This means you can cause all the chaos you like in god mode for example, and still earn those all-important Achievements.

Simply download the mod via this link, install it in your game, and you’re good to go.

That’s everything you need to know about console commands in Starfield! If you’re just diving into the Shattered Space DLC, check out our quest guides for The Duel, What Remains, Conflict of Conviction, and Zealous Overreach.
