Starfield console commands and cheats

Console commands in Starfield let you cheat your way to invincibily, Skill Points, any item you want, and more!

These Starfield cheats are incredibly useful if you just want to live out your space fantasy without having to deal with those pesky health points or deciding what Skill you want (you can have them all!)

We've listed all known console commands in Starfield below, but do keep in mind that these only work on PC unless you're using the 'play anywhere' feature to activate a cheat on PC, then pick up your save on an Xbox.

How to use console commands in Starfield

To star using console commands in Starfield you first have to bring up the console itself by pressing the '`' Grave key on UK keyboards, or the '~' Tilde key on US keyboards. This should be below the 'ESC' key on the top left-hand corner of both UK and US keyboards.

The console will open in a pop-up menu and you can now enter each console command cheat one at a time. Don't worry about capitalising any of the commands, as the cheats work with or without capital letters.

Once you've typed your command, press enter to apply it. You can then type another command and apply it with enter again.

Starfield console commands and cheats list

A lot of the console commands in Starfield are similar to those in Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, so they're pretty easy to figure out if you regularly use cheats in other Bethesda Game Studios titles.

Although they're easy to input, be very careful when using console commands, as they put a lot of strain on PCs if you use too many, and some might even break your current save file.

You can narrow your search for a particular command by using the searchbar below, or by using 'ctrl+f' on this page.

With thanks to user RelationshipHuman136 on the Starfield subreddit who sourced a number of the commands from IGN, here's a list of all console commands and cheats in Starfield discovered so far:

Can you use Starfield console commands on Xbox?

You can't technically use Starfield console commands on Xbox to activate cheats, however according to user ZA44 on the Starfield subreddit, if you have Starfield on PC you can activate console commands on it and then load your save on Xbox to take advantage of the cheats you turned on.

With the 'play anywhere' feature you automatically have Starfield for PC if you only purchased it on Xbox, so no need to buy two copies.

You can use the console commands if you cross save between PC and Xbox.

We haven't been able to test this out ourselves just yet, but if you're going to try console commands on Xbox we suggest you don't use too many console commands as it could seriously mess with your save file on Xbox and might crash the console.

Do Starfield console commands disable achievements?

Yes, if you use Starfield's console commands to alter your game in any way you will disable achievements. So there's no easy way to get all of Starfield's achievements.
