Much like previous Bethesda games, there are a bunch of console commands hidden within Starfield that make the game a lot easier to play, or if you're creative, break in hilarious ways. Console commands can also be incredibly useful for recovering from unexpected bugs or issues you might encounter while playing the game.

Console commands are PC only, but they'll give you access to some powerful cheats that can unlock weapons, grant you credits, or even make you immortal from damage.

Surprisingly, it isn't all that difficult to enable the console. Be warned, though, that this is technically cheating, and enabling the console will disable achievements. To access the console, you simply need to press the Tilde key (the ~ squiggle you never press below Escape, usually).

Once you've enabled the console, you'll be able to enter any of the following commands to perform the desired effect;

Available Commands
