Starfield is an exciting new space-themed roleplaying game made by Bethesda Game Studios. For fans of epic fantasy games like Skyrim, this promises to be an immersive single-player adventure set among the stars.
What Can You Do with the Console?
In Starfield and many other Bethesda games, there is a debug console that allows you to input special commands. On PC versions, you can access extra features like:
- Altering character attributes and game settings
- Spawning items and objects
- Triggering quests and events
- Enabling "god mode" for invincibility
So the console lets you manipulate many aspects of the game for customization, shortcuts, tweaks and cheats. It‘s a very useful tool for PC players.
How to Open the Console
To open the console, you first need to know which keyboard layout you use. The key you press depends on whether you have a US, European or other regional keyboard.
Here is a list of the console open keys for common layouts:
- US keyboard:
~key - European:
@key - German:
ökey - Norwegian:
Økey - Swiss:
̈key - Portugal:

You can check what keyboard layout you have on the right side of your Windows taskbar (e.g. ENG US).
Once you know the correct key, here are the basic steps to open the console:
- Launch Starfield and start a new game or load a save
- While playing, press the designated console key for your layout
- A command line should appear at bottom of screen
- Type commands and press Enter to activate
After that, you can start using console commands for cheats, spawning items, teleporting and more. The possibilities to customize your adventure are endless!
I hope this basic overview gives you an idea of how to access the console and what you can do with it.
