How to Use Cheats and Console Commands in Starfield

To enter cheats and console commands in Starfield, you must first access the command console. To do so, press the Tidle (~) key while in-game or when using the menu system. The command console will now appear, and you can enter codes. Cheat codes currently only work on PC versions of Starfield.
